Stacee Compton

Stacee Compton is a licensed professional counselor - mental health (LPC-MH) practicing in South Dakota with about 15 years of experience. She has helped people of different ages with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and parenting concerns. Stacee emphasizes meeting people where they are and building a trusting therapeutic connection before moving forward.

Her approach is flexible and person-focused. She adapts techniques to each person's needs and works alongside them rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are meant to be a space to talk through difficult feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that fit daily life.

Stacee draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current struggles. She also uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and present-moment skills. Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful stories and consider new ways of understanding themselves.

She has extensive experience with blended and adoptive family dynamics, childhood behavioral concerns, and issues around identity such as LGBT matters and body image. Additional focuses include grief, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with major life changes.

People who choose Stacee often want a steady, compassionate counselor who listens closely and tailors practical steps to their situation. If you are thinking about starting therapy, the first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a session based on scheduling options.

Approaches that guide online work and next steps

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present behavior and feelings. In practice this often means talking about family patterns, noticing how you relate to others now, and trying different ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. A therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and follows the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That means starting with what matters most to the client and shaping the style and pace together.

Session formats are not detailed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule appointments during work breaks or between errands. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or a mix of tools and conversation that match a client's rhythm without promising any specific format.
