About Stanton
Stanton Speck is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of professional experience. He offers telehealth sessions for clients in California and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and addictions. Stanton's style is direct and practical, geared toward parents and family members who need clear tools and steady support.
He draws on long experience supporting people facing relationship strain, communication breakdowns, and family conflicts.
Background and approach
Stanton has also worked with first responders and understands the pressures that come with high-stress jobs. He uses everyday language in sessions and helps clients talk through specific problems and next steps. Stanton blends a matter-of-fact approach with empathy.
He creates a calm space for discussing difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for coping, improving communication, and managing stress in family life. Outside clinical work Stanton has decades of experience racing motocross and surfing, and he integrates that knowledge about passion and performance into conversations about life balance.
He encourages practical experiments between sessions so families can try new ways of relating. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting work
Stanton uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. He often relies on structured problem-solving, which helps people break big family issues into smaller steps they can try between sessions. This approach is useful for improving communication, resolving conflicts, and handling parenting routines.He also uses elements of trauma-informed care to address stress from work or past events. That means paying attention to safety, pacing conversations, and teaching skills to manage strong reactions. These methods can help with anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and the stress that affects family life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stanton discusses goals and preferences with each person or family and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. He frames therapy as teamwork and helps clients test what works for their situation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to work on parenting and relationship issues without travel. They also allow steady support during stressful periods and flexible ways to check in between full sessions.
