About Stacie
Dr. Stacie Billingsley is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Illinois. She brings 16 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes.
Her style is warm and focused on each person's real concerns. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions. That means she helps people name feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes that matter in daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at improving how people cope and relate to others. Clients often talk about trauma, grief, parenting pressures, workplace stress, or issues with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment wounds, blended family problems, codependency, and family of origin issues. Stacie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. She listens closely, helps people map what matters most, and practices skills together in session.
The goal is clearer priorities, better coping tools, and more dependable emotional balance. Her work combines empathy with straightforward strategies, so people leave sessions with things to try between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Prospective clients in Illinois can expect collaborative planning and straightforward next steps.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through core emotions that affect relationships and self-worth. Online sessions can use that focus to practice new ways of noticing and responding to feelings during conversations.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify personal values and make small committed steps toward them. In remote sessions this often becomes goal-focused work and short exercises you can try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT works well over video or phone when the therapist and client use worksheets, brief behavioral experiments, and check-ins between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions stay practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and role practice, phone needs less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, live chat works for focused check-ins, and text messaging supports quick coaching or daily check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, family, and other demands.
