About Stacie

Dr. Stacie Billingsley works from a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she brings 16 years of experience to her work.

Her tone is calm and direct, with a focus on real-life skills that fit daily demands. Her practice often centers on building coping strategies that feel useful right away. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance-based tools to help clients clarify what matters most to them and act in ways that match those values. Emotion-focused techniques are part of sessions when people want to better understand their feelings and how they show up in relationships. Dialectical skills help with strong emotions and steps toward steadier behavior.

The mix is tailored to each person's needs and goals, not a fixed recipe. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is causing distress and what small steps might help. Sessions include skill teaching, practice, and problem-solving for everyday situations like work stress, parenting strain, or relationship conflict.

The aim is to leave with tools to try between sessions. Billingsley also supports people facing grief, addictions, identity questions related to LGBT concerns, career stress, and caregiver burnout. She helps people weigh options, set goals, and take manageable steps toward clearer direction and better daily functioning.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when thoughts and feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and pacing big changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and practicing new ways of responding. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and how they shape relationships, helping people notice emotions and shift patterns that cause disconnection.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences. Together they will try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life and pace.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice interaction skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing reflection between sessions and quick access to coping reminders. These formats support continuity of care and flexible ways to practice new skills during the week.
