More about Stacy
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a clinical social worker licensed in Missouri and Illinois with over 20 years experience working as a mental health/addictions therapist. I have worked with people across all age groups in a variety of treatment settings on concerns including depression, anxiety, history of trauma, thoughts of death, self injury, mood swings and addictions.
My therapy style is of compassion and acceptance. I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom and my role is to help my clients build a deeper connection with theirs. My approach is a mixture of dialectical behavioral (DBT), cognitive, mindfulness, and client centered strategies. I will tailor our approach and goals to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to make the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Stacy is AMAZING and is helping me through a lot. She listens and respects my opinions.
Stacy is the most caring and comforting therapist I have ever worked with. She made it very easy to talk about past and present experiences, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. I am incredibly confident in her expertise and experience, and she is an absolute joy to work with
Stacy has been tremendously helpful in working through some family trauma and work difficulties. She frequently shares her own experience with DBT techniques, which gives me hope that they’ll work for me as well
Stacy has been fantastic to say the least. I’ve found that she’ll send a message just checking in at the perfect times and they’re very helpful.
Stacy helps me to feel safe and comforted. She provides me with tools and worksheets on a regular bases, outside of our sessions. Not only does this help me improve my mental health, it also makes me feel supported and not alone. I am very thankful and hopeful for my time with Stacy.
Great listener, very empathetic
Stacy brought a perspective to my situation that really helped me move forward. I will carry her words with me for a very long time, and I'm so grateful to have spoken with her!
The best choice i have ever made is starting the therapy, and I'm glad that I started it with Stacy. I couldn't imagine I can be comfortable of speaking with someone about my problems before . Thank you
Stacy is incredibly kind and supportive. She truly listens and offers compassion as well as great feedback and assistance. She makes me happy I picked therapy back up
Stacy has such a warm heart and is always ready to listen
It has been a godsend working with Stacy the past two weeks. I’ve been through so much honestly for so many years… it’s a blessing to have someone just “get it”. To feel heard and understood, not judged - and then to receive active compassion and for the first time feeling like I’m not alone in dealing with everything. I’m very grateful for the match up and look forward to what I might be able to achieve by continuing my therapy. It gives me hope of making it through the tunnel life has tossed me.
Stacy is great. I appreciate how she validates me and my feelings and listens with genuine interest.
Stacy made me feel comfortable from the beginning. She’s a great listener and she’s very kind. She made me feel like I wasn’t alone and gave me the tools to feel better about what I was going through. I would highly recommend Stacy as a therapist.
Stacy Scotty has been a wonderful therapist to me so far. We have only had a limited number of sessions but every session I have had I feel heard, listened to and supported. She checks in through the week which for me is significant and when I specifically expressed a need I wanted addressed she heard me and responded to my needs by giving me homework to make me think about and understand my thoughts snd feelings. This us what I want ftom a therapist. I am very happy with my experiences so far with her.
Shes awesome. She is a great listener and provides thoughtful insight from a new perspective. She has also provided me with new tools to help better myself . Would strongly recommend her
I loved talking to Stacy. She’s so easy to talk to.
Listens to everything i have to say and provides helpful resources for my problems.
Stacy is kind, Considerate and understanding and she asks great questions that truly makes me open myself up more!!
I appreciate the time Stacy takes to listen to me and to offer valuable advice. I look forward to speaking with her and I enjoy the positivity she helps me feel.
She is so compassionate and kind and a fantastic listener. She has very gentle input that goes a long way and is insightful.
Stacy is great, she has allowed me to continually grow without any pressure. I talk a lot, which wasn't always the case, but I feel so comfortable with her that I have let the majority of my guard down. She's a great listener, and observer of my emotions and feelings.
Stacy is a great listener who listens with empathy. She has also shared a variety of useful resources that are a great help in my healing journey.
Amazing
I feel like she knew my issues and provided the best help with them. She listened and didnt ever seem like she was trying to force a conversation. It was nice to have her as my Therapist.
Stacy Scott is very attentive to my needs. I appreciate the time that she takes to listen to my needs and respond in a way that helps me. This is my first time in therapy and I can already tell that Stacy will have a great impact.
Stacy is so compassionate and empathetic. I feel very comfortable with her and she provides a nonjudgmental and supportive environment.
Stacy was very helpful during this difficult time of processing my separation from my husband of 10 years. Her compassionate nature inspired me to work on self compassion and self love. I definitely recommend her!
Stacy Scott has tuned into my changing needs as events happen in my life. I’m dealing with chronic health issues in my close family and things change day to day. When I first started therapy, even before I had a real time session , she was helpful to me by responding to my in app text messages in a short time so that I had a feeling of support.
GREAT
The best
Stacy is a great listener, she seems to be bringing something very positive out of me. Her voice is very calming and reassuring. The help she has provided (via worksheets and handouts) me has been everything I had hoped for when I first signed up.
Stacy was very kind and supportive. It was nice talking with her, and getting to take a deeper look at myself.
Stacy is very easy to talk to, and makes opening up about difficult experiences feel less stressful. She provided me with resources and took note of the issues I talked about in the survey right away, and showed interest in my development
Stacy is very gifted in the area of listening and picking out things that matter. My sessions with her were priceless.
Let's just say the four weeks that I had literally gotten into this counseling I have became a way much better person because of her giving me tools to stay sober and strong because of loss of my parents I highly recommend Stacy scott. Intelligent caring
Stacy has been great to work with. The texting and responses have been so helpful. I feel supported. She also gives me worksheets that are really helpful getting me the information I need to get through my struggles. She's been a great asset.
