Paige Stanfield-Myers, LPC

Paige Stanfield-Myers is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience based in Missouri. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, career questions, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and other life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel overwhelmed.

Paige offers practical tools and clear strategies people can use between sessions. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to help people notice patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. Sessions are interactive and focused on what matters most to the individual.

Her background includes long-term practice with a wide variety of concerns, from attention differences and mood disorders to caregiving stress and chronic illness. That experience informs how she tailors sessions so they address both immediate problems and longer-term goals. She prefers to avoid labels that feel stigmatizing and works with each person respectfully.

Expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. Paige draws on solution-focused ideas when people want manageable steps and on existential perspectives when life meaning and values become important. The work balances practical coping skills with space to reflect on what really matters.

Sessions can include skill-building, problem-solving, and guided conversation about values and choices. Paige encourages people to keep trying new approaches and celebrates small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Paige commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work when meeting with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with concrete skills for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and supporting a person's own pace and choices, which helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and make decisions.

Finding the right fit is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaboration shapes whether sessions lean more toward skill-building, meaning-focused conversation, or short-term problem solving.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, and different communication styles so therapy can match real-life needs.
