About Stacie
Stacie Brethauer, LPC, brings 13 years of counseling experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her style is warm and direct, with practical tools clients can use between sessions.
She centers her work on attachment-based ideas, looking at how early connections and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. That perspective often links to concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care topics, and attachment issues.
Background and approach
Stacie also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to keep sessions grounded and goal oriented. Clients can expect short, usable strategies for coping with stress, grief, addiction concerns, and self-esteem worries. She incorporates mindfulness to help calm the body and focus attention when emotions run high.
Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and communication cause pain. Stacie has supported people dealing with parenting strain, fertility questions, blended family challenges, and family of origin issues. She also works with those navigating career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and body image or codependency concerns.
Her work often bridges practical problem-solving with attention to emotion and connection. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to each person and build steps toward those goals. The therapist favors clear, simple coping skills that fit into everyday life.
She encourages clients to try small changes and notice the difference over time.

Online support
Online therapy that blends attachment work and practical skills
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns like fear of abandonment, attachment issues, and how past relationships affect present reactions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people find their own solutions by reflecting what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety, depression, or stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and comfort level. Over time they revisit what is working and adjust the approach so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not wanted or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules while keeping consistent progress.
