Stacie BrethauerLPC

Stacie Brethauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Stacie is known for an approachable style that keeps therapy practical and down to earth.

She uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. Sessions focus on clear coping tools and small steps that fit everyday life. Stacie draws on attachment-based ideas to untangle relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Mindfulness practices are used to help people stay present and reduce overwhelm. Emotionally-focused work helps people name and move through difficult feelings. Stacie adapts techniques to be simple and usable outside of sessions so progress can continue between meetings.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across many concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, fertility issues, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, body image, codependency, and blended family stress. This range gives her practical insight into how life events affect mood and relationships.

Stacie practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire to help pair you with the right fit and then schedule based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Stacie uses attachment-based work to help people notice patterns in close relationships and to build new, healthier ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions typically begin by sorting what matters most and then trying strategies together to see what helps.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and cognitive-behavioral exercises for remote sessions, including guided mindfulness practices and worksheet-based work that can be used between meetings.
