Lucia Stanfield, LMHC

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience who helps people facing jealousy, relationship strains, anxiety, and mood concerns. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lucia aims to help clients feel more grounded and clear about what they want from their relationships and life.

She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about difficult topics like trauma, grief, addiction, and parenting stress. Conversations are direct but gentle, with attention to what a person values and what gets in the way of change. Sessions often center on building coping skills and clearer communication patterns.

Lucia uses several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based work to address closeness and trust. She adapts the approach to fit each person rather than following a single formula. This helps people facing issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, chronic illness, caregiving strain, or body image concerns.

Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of life challenges from career transitions to compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how past relationships influence current reactions and helps clients practice new responses. The goal is steady, workable change that fits each person's life.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process focused on manageable goals and skill-building. Lucia supports clients in building resilience and clearer communication so they can move forward with more confidence.

How these approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people choose actions that match their values even when thoughts or feelings are hard to bear; it is useful for anxiety, relationship worry, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape trust and closeness now and can help when jealousy or intimacy issues are recurring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can test and change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. This means trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one path from the start.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment isn't required. It also makes it simpler for international clients to connect with a Florida licensed professional. Lucia will discuss practical scheduling and what will work best during the initial match and intake.
