Stan Peck, LPC

Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change difficult patterns. He offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship and family issues. He aims to make therapy practical and down-to-earth for people feeling stuck.

He draws on ten years of experience working in clinical settings, including inpatient mental health hospitals. That background means he is familiar with severe mood diagnoses such as bipolar disorder and with people who have experienced psychosis. He focuses on building clear goals and step-by-step strategies alongside emotional support.

In sessions he listens first and then helps clients try practical tools that fit their life. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. He also includes acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those approaches match a person’s needs.

Stan works with a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and issues around self-esteem and body image. He also helps people dealing with anger, impulsivity, isolation, and substance use challenges. He adapts the plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Therapy with him is collaborative. He aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate while helping people set practical steps toward clearer routines, better coping, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Stan uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try small experiments that change daily routines and mood. He also brings in acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and build meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered therapy shapes his listening style, making room for each person’s experience and priorities.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting plans over time based on what helps most. That collaborative process is part of the work, not a one-time choice.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing tracking between appointments. These options help people keep consistency, manage appointments around work or caregiving, and choose the format that feels most useful for their daily routine.
