About Stan
Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. He uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. He has ten years of professional experience and has worked in inpatient mental health settings.
That background means he is familiar with serious mood conditions like bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, and with substance use concerns. He brings that experience into sessions while keeping conversations respectful and grounded.
Background and approach
Stan draws on several approaches to meet a person where they are. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and actions, and client-centered listening to shape sessions around each person's needs. He aims to make therapy practical and understandable rather than theoretical.
People often come to him for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, or life transitions. He also works with issues like anger, addictions, dissociation, body image, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. In sessions Stan focuses on clear goals, real skills, and steps people can try between meetings.
He says the first step takes courage and offers steady, nonjudgmental support while people work toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and shaping sessions around what the person brings, which helps people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Stan can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, and quick coaching between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
