About Stacie
Stacie Brethauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years in the mental health field. She offers warm, direct support and practical steps to help people get unstuck. Her approach aims to make coping strategies simple and usable in everyday life.
Stacie focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and grief. She also addresses parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, and codependency. People reach out for help navigating life changes, attachment wounds, and family-of-origin issues.
Her counseling blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Stacie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Stacie works from a strengths-based perspective and integrates mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful. She supports people through adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, body image, commitment or control struggles, and fertility or fatherhood questions. Her style is compassionate, steady, and practical.
How Stacie's Approaches Translate Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to help identify reactive behaviors and develop new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In a remote session CBT can guide practical homework and brief skill practice between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person’s priorities and experiences, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and reflection to support self-directed change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor the mix of attachment, CBT, mindfulness, or emotionally-focused techniques used in sessions.
