About Stan
Stan Peck is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life changes. He also lists focus areas such as body image, caregiver stress, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
He has worked in inpatient mental health hospitals and has experience treating severe mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. That background informs how he approaches crisis-level symptoms and day-to-day struggles alike. Sessions aim to address concrete problems like sleep, eating, motivation, and parenting stresses.
Stan uses several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy. He adapts his conversational style and techniques to the specific concerns a person brings, combining skills training, values clarification, and practical behavior changes.
People meet him for help unpacking feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, or loneliness and for skills to manage impulsivity, substance use, or mood swings. He focuses on clear steps people can use between sessions, such as mood tracking, exposure to avoided situations, or practice with new ways to communicate.
Stan emphasizes respectful, sensitive dialogue and works with each person to shape a treatment plan that fits their needs. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Stan’s therapeutic approaches apply to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then choosing actions that reflect a person’s values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with mood, sleep, and managing urges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, useful for impulsivity, intense mood swings, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stan will review goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and then recommend ways of working together. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting methods so sessions feel useful and focused on day-to-day progress.
The original biography does not list session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they reduce travel time, make scheduling across different locations easier, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it simpler to use homework tools such as mood tracking, recordings of skills practice, and in-the-moment exercises that support change between meetings.
