Stacee Compton

Stacee Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) in South Dakota with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, and life changes. Stacee also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption and blended families.

She uses practical, person-focused work rather than jargon. Stacee listens to how life feels out of balance and helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing intense emotions, and breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That means attention to relationship patterns, clear attention to the person’s goals, learning simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and working with personal stories to shift old meanings.

Stacee has substantial experience with adoptive and blended family issues and childhood behavioral concerns, alongside adult relationship and parenting challenges. She helps people work through abandonment and family-of-origin themes that keep showing up in adult life.

People who are unsure what comes next often find the work practical and focused. The initial steps are straightforward: a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at recurring patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help when feeling stuck in repeating relationship dynamics. Client-centered methods focus on the person's priorities and pacing, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's priorities during sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily signals, which can reduce overwhelm and make decision points clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first, adjust techniques over time, and check how each approach fits the client's goals and daily routine. This is a practical, stepwise exploration rather than a single fixed plan.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day, and remove travel time so conversations can happen between other obligations. These practical benefits help sessions fit into ordinary life while focusing on communication, emotional regulation, and clearer next steps.
