About Stacy

Stacy Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. She brings seven years of clinical experience to work with adults facing a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family issues. Stacy aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use skills in everyday life.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. Stacy listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She uses hands-on strategies to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle hard moments. Stacy draws on several established methods, including cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior skills for emotion regulation, and client-centered listening that prioritizes each person’s perspective. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in the present.

Parents and caregivers often seek her help with parenting stress, relationship strain, and life changes that affect the whole family. Stacy focuses on practical adjustments that fit a family’s routines and values rather than one-size-fits-all advice. Sessions include talking through patterns, practicing new responses, and building small, workable habits.

The goal is steady progress - one clear step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist provides empathy and supports clients in finding their own solutions, which helps when navigating family stress or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for anger, mood instability, and interpersonal strain.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust plans based on what works. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor care to each situation.

Online therapy brings these methods to video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging for greater flexibility. Clients can fit sessions into busy family schedules, use short messages between meetings to check in, and practice skills at home with guidance from a licensed professional. This format supports consistent work on goals without extra travel time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
