About Stan
Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, mood disorders, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. He also supports issues around eating, sleeping, parenting, self-esteem, career changes, and LGBT concerns.
Stan has worked in inpatient mental health hospitals where he supported people with severe mental health diagnoses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people manage strong emotions and difficult thinking patterns. Sessions focus on what feels most useful in day-to-day life.
His approach draws from several evidence-based styles, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Stan adapts these methods to the problems people bring, such as anger that shows up at work or resentments that build at home.
In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills for emotional regulation, and clarify personal values that guide change. He will collaborate on a plan that fits the person's goals and routines. Practical skill practice and clear steps are common parts of his work.
People looking for help with impulse control, caregiver stress, communication problems, or substance-related issues can raise those topics. Stan also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or emptiness as they come up in therapy.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and pick actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anger that feels overwhelming or for getting unstuck after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often includes skill practice for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful when strong feelings or impulsivity cause problems in relationships or at work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different strategies to see what helps. That decision is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
