About Stan

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 10 years of experience, Stan Peck helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship or family concerns. He works with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem issues, and career or life-change stressors.

Stan uses practical therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. He has worked in inpatient mental health hospital settings and has experience supporting people with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. Conversations tend to include identifying unhelpful patterns, learning coping strategies, and practicing small behavior changes. He adapts the style of sessions to the person’s needs instead of following a single rigid approach.

Stan also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, substance use, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and jealousy. Parents who need help with challenging behavior or parenting stress can bring those specific concerns to sessions.

He offers therapy in English and does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Stan applies ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and problems where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns by teaching skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits; it fits concerns like depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so the client can clarify goals and make their own changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Stan will discuss different methods and help you decide what feels most useful. He tailors the plan based on your goals, what has or hasn’t worked for you, and practical needs like time and energy.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many clients find virtual sessions let them practice skills between meetings in real-world settings and keep progress moving forward while juggling daily responsibilities.
