Stacey Kamp, LMFT

Stacey Kamp is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who blends clinical training with a creative orientation to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She is pursuing a PhD in Art Therapy and draws on a background in Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy to introduce imaginative avenues for self-discovery while making clear that formal art skills are not required.

Stacey employs an integrative approach that weaves together cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspective, dialectical behavior therapy, humanistic ideas, and mindfulness practices. She emphasizes empowering clients to manage anxiety, build self-esteem, navigate communication and control issues, and find renewed purpose during midlife or other major life changes. Her practice also addresses panic, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and women’s issues.

Known for a calm, positive manner, Stacey approaches each person with empathy and compassion, creating a supportive space to explore the roots of current difficulties and to build practical skills for moving forward. She maintains a website and blog at creativepsychotherapymarin.com with additional information and resources for navigating life’s challenges.

Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can help when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for therapy work.
