About Stacie
Stacie Brethauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and life changes. Her practice also addresses ADHD, addictions, parenting concerns, and challenges related to adoption and attachment.
Stacie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches and draws from attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered methods. In sessions she helps clients name what they feel and notice the patterns that keep problems repeating. She aims to make coping strategies clear and simple to use in everyday life.
Sessions focus on sorting through current challenges, choosing practical strategies, and working on changes that matter most to the client. Stacie pays attention to communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and family of origin issues when they come up. She also addresses concerns like body image, fertility-related stress, and blended family adjustments.
Her style combines direct problem solving with attention to emotional experience and attachment needs. That can include skill practice, mindful awareness, and experimenting with new ways of relating to difficult emotions. Stacie encourages short, usable tools clients can take into daily routines.

How EFT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Stacie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name emotions that are hard to put into words and to notice interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. EFT is often used for work on emotional expression and changing how people respond to intense feelings.She also draws from attachment-based ideas, which look at how early connection patterns influence current relationships, and from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the client's concerns. These approaches help with relationship strain, attachment worries, abandonment concerns, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may include trying different strategies to see what helps.
