About Stan

Stan Peck is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Alabama who draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people facing a wide range of concerns. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance-related difficulties.

Background and approach

His background includes work in inpatient mental health settings where he treated severe mental illness such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as major depressive disorders. He emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances.

Stan also works with issues related to relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, sexual orientation concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and career or life transitions. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, dissociation, and impulsivity among others.

He frames change as a collaborative process and aims to support clients as they take steps toward more satisfying and manageable lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies for changing them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, often helpful for coping with chronic emotional pain and life changes. Client-centered therapy informs his general stance by prioritizing empathic listening and tailoring the therapeutic relationship to each person’s experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Stan collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and personal history. He adapts interventions over time so sessions align with what a person needs most, framing treatment as a shared, goal-oriented process.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to connect for skill-building, regular check-ins, and emotional support while fitting therapy into busy schedules or when in-person options are limited.
