Stacy Mitchell, LMFT

Stacy Mitchell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 20 years of clinical experience. As an LMFT she brings focused training in working with individuals, couples, and families, and holds California license CA LMFT 44748. Over two decades she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and life purpose.

Stacy approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their story and carries strengths that can be uncovered and developed. Her role is to guide clients in identifying those strengths, exploring practical solutions, and building motivation and confidence to make meaningful changes. She works collaboratively to tailor interventions to the needs and goals of the individual or family, emphasizing growth, healing, and renewed connection.

Choosing to begin therapy is an important step, and Stacy honors that decision by offering a compassionate, respectful, and empowering environment for change. She invites clients to take an active part in their healing journey while providing steady clinical guidance and support along the way.

CBT-informed care and collaborative online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that Stacy uses to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test new ways of thinking, and practice behaviors that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete tools for managing daily challenges and building more adaptive coping strategies.

In addition to CBT-informed techniques, Stacy emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered process that adapts to each person or family's goals. She works alongside clients to explore what methods feel most useful, and adjusts interventions over time to match evolving needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Stacy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows for scheduling flexibility and access from different locations within California. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Stacy supports clients in finding the best combination of approaches and formats to promote steady progress.
