    About Stan

    Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, motivation, and self esteem. He offers steady, respectful support and helps people take the first steps toward change.

    He uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. He has about 10 years of professional experience and has worked in inpatient mental health settings. That work included helping people with serious diagnoses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as major depressive disorder.

    In sessions he adapts the plan to fit each person’s needs. He uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation, and methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts and actions. He also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work focused on the person’s goals.

    Stan helps with many concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, relationship and family difficulties, and caregiver stress. He also supports people facing career changes, parenting challenges, and feelings of loneliness or emptiness.

    People who choose him can expect a calm, direct style that centers their values and goals. He works with each person to set clear, doable steps and to build skills for everyday life. If someone is ready to begin, they can follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first appointment.

  2. How his approaches fit into online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses open conversation and questions to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving routines.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and make that choice together as therapy progresses.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skill practice to work well over distance so people can keep making progress between visits.
