Stacee Compton , LPC-MH

Stacee Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health (LPC-MH) practicing in South Dakota with 15 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. She has supported people coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and communication challenges, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of family and identity issues, including work with blended and adoptive families.

Stacee emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered approach that begins by meeting individuals where they are and tailoring interventions to their unique needs. She prioritizes the therapeutic relationship as a key vehicle for change and adapts techniques to fit each person and family, whether the focus is on attachment concerns, coping with life changes, grief, or building self-esteem.

Her practice also addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, and disruptions in family dynamics. Stacee integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate practical challenges and emotional patterns while honoring each person’s pace and preferences.

Stacee seeks to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where people can develop skills to pursue more fulfilling, stable lives. She brings experience, patience, and a strengths-based perspective to her work with individuals and families.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stacee Compton draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps when clients struggle with trust, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues by focusing on relational needs and healing. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace and focus of sessions and build self-awareness and confidence. In addition, Stacee incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and calming strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacee works jointly with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time to best support progress and resilience.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those juggling work, family, or geographic barriers. By meeting via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from their own environments, schedule sessions more easily, and continue care through changes in routine or location.
