About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma. She focuses on practical strategies people can use between sessions. She sees individuals who want clear, structured steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Her work uses evidence-informed talking therapies to break problems into manageable parts. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns. Sessions tend to emphasize specific skills and small experiments to try outside of therapy.
Lucia pays attention to the everyday effects of mental health issues. She helps people with sleep problems, anger, grief, and issues tied to parenting, adoption, caregiving, or chronic illness. She also supports people facing identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of challenges such as addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career stress. Her approach is practical and structured rather than abstract. She focuses on what someone can try next to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lucia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought patterns and test new behaviors in real life. CBT sessions focus on concrete goals, homework exercises, and step-by-step skill practice that can be done between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters to a person and to encourage small committed actions toward those values. ACT is useful when someone wants to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and focus more on meaningful activity. Attachment-Based ideas are used to map how early relationship patterns affect current connections and to try new ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match the problem, goals, and personal style. That may mean combining CBT skills, ACT exercises, and attachment work over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also suggest practical at-home exercises and brief experiments people can try between meetings to test what helps most.
