Stacie Borchert, LPC

Stacie Borchert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on people coping with chronic health challenges, substance use concerns, anxiety, and life transitions. She draws on personal experience living with chronic illness to offer empathy and practical support. Sessions aim to build self-compassion and realistic coping strategies for difficult days.

Stacie helps clients break big problems into small, manageable steps. She uses creative, art-based exercises like card making to help people name feelings and find calm. Conversations cover everyday struggles such as mood shifts, isolation, and frustration with ongoing pain.

Her approach centers on collaboration. Stacie checks in about goals and adjusts techniques to fit each person’s needs and pace. She emphasizes practical tools for managing stress, improving communication, and tending to self-worth.

With four years of counseling experience, Stacie brings both professional perspective and lived understanding of chronic conditions. She can discuss how long-term health issues interact with mood, behavior, and substance use without assuming one solution fits all.

People who are caregivers or living with chronic pain often look to her for down-to-earth strategies and emotional support. She encourages small changes that add up over time and helps people reconnect with what matters to them.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Stacie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. One common approach she uses involves practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching simple actions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another element she brings is work focused on substance use and relapse prevention, helping people identify triggers and build strategies to manage urges and cravings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She discusses goals with each person and tests methods that match those aims. If an exercise or tool doesn’t fit, she adjusts or tries another option so the work stays relevant and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow the use of art-based activities and worksheets in session without needing extra materials. Ask about specific scheduling and how creative exercises are handled in remote sessions when you set up your first appointment.
