About Lucia

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and parenting stress. Lucia also supports those coping with addiction, grief, career strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her primary approaches. Lucia also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she helps people name and track emotions, notice patterns in relationships, and practice small behavior changes that matter day to day.

Lucia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how feelings show up in relationships, and steps a person can take between meetings. She explains options, listens to a person’s goals, and adapts methods to fit the issue at hand.

Her background includes two decades seeing adults for a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. She has experience with attachment issues, blended family problems, and adoption and foster care topics. Lucia offers work in English and accepts international clients.

Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session by selecting the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name difficult emotions and see how those emotions shape relationships. In short, EFT focuses on moments of connection and on changing patterns that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and accept feelings while taking action toward personal values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles show up now and guides work on building healthier interaction habits with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit a person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and the practical tools used between meetings.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients who speak English to connect with a Florida-licensed professional. Practical benefits include scheduling flexibility and continuity of care when life gets busy, while the therapist and client adapt approaches to what is most helpful.
