About Stacee

Stacee Compton is a licensed professional counselor - mental health (LPC-MH) based in South Dakota with 15 years of clinical experience. She has supported people across the lifespan, helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. She also works with issues related to adoption, blended families, attachment, and ADHD. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor therapy to each person's needs. Sessions focus on building trust, talking through current challenges, and trying practical ways to cope day to day. Stacee draws from several approaches when planning care. Client-centered work keeps the person's goals central, while attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice habits and rewrite unhelpful stories they tell themselves. People often come for help with communication, codependency, grief, body image, or changes after divorce and separation. She has experience with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and impacts of trauma and domestic violence. Jealousy is one of the relationship issues listed among her focus areas. Her practice emphasizes steady, respectful collaboration. She encourages small steps, experiments between sessions, and ongoing reflection on what helps. Stacee aims to support people as they work toward more satisfying relationships and greater emotional balance.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. In online sessions this might mean talking about family patterns and noticing how those patterns appear in today's relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and what matters most to you, with the therapist offering listening and gentle reflection to help you find your own solutions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and physical reactions, which can reduce reactivity and build calm day to day. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels most useful, then try approaches and adjust as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting sessions happen from a familiar setting. It can also make scheduling around work, caregiving, or school obligations simpler while still allowing the same therapeutic conversations and practical skill-building as in-person care.
