About Stacie Brethauer

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Behavior Specialist. I have enjoyed over 13 years working in the mental health field, helping my clients change their lives in positive ways.

Those that I come alongside often say I provide warm, heartfelt support and professional guidance as they found hope and transformation through their struggles. Taking part in their journey as an expert guide, I have helped individuals navigate their way through depression, anxiety, relationship issues, lack of self-confidence, major life transitions, grief, and loss.

Refreshing to my clients, I have a unique and individualized approach to my counseling, while at the same time being highly educated and expertly trained in mental health. I make coping strategies simple and easy to apply in real life.

Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, and Strength-Based are just some of the theories that I draw from. I tailor my service in unique ways to support the specific needs of my clients while drawing from proven theoretical strategies.

During our sessions together, you can expect that we will sort through the challenges you are facing, choose the strategies that work the best while focusing on making the changes that matter the most to you. What’s on your mind most and how may I support you is a theme of the service I provide.

I am confident of this: the life you want is already within your reach and the struggle that you are feeling right now is just temporary. You’ve already done the hardest part; you reached out and asked for help.

Now it’s time for you to take the next best step.

Know I am here for you, as you begin this journey. Let’s take that next step, together.

“Stacie has been so helpful and life changing for me. Im so grateful”

“Stacie and I have been working together for a year. She is a great listener and helps me to think about the issues I bring to the table. She also gave me the confidence I needed to move forward into a new career. I would recommend her to just about anyone!”

“Stacie has been phenomenal to work with. She has been a great listening ear, has given me reassurance when I needed it and most importantly has helped me develop adequate coping skills to deal with the curveballs life throws. I am forever grateful to her and BetterHelp for the accessible and accommodating therapy. I recommend BetterHelp to everyone!”

“I love my therapy sessions. She understands me and helps by all ways supporting”

“Minute one with Stacie has been life changing! The way internal things get revealed and healed thru methods she suggests and supports you thru is giving me my life back xo Thank you is simply not enough xo”

“I’ve been working with Stacie for over a year now, and she is absolutely amazing. She is so kind and supportive, and she really makes sure to explain her thought process thoroughly. She has helped me in more ways than I could ever count!”

“I have been working with Stacie for a couple months and she is amazing! Therapy in general has been life changing but Stacie is such a great therapist. Listens well, remembers things I have told her in the past. Sometimes it seems like I am just talking to a friend which I appreciate it, but then she is also able to provide very professional advice and insight. I never feel judged. Honestly I look forward to talking to her for our scheduled calls. Taking the leap and scheduling therapy is scary and intimidating. But I promise you won’t regret it.”

“Stacie was instrumental in helping me to move forward after a breakup from a long-term relationship. She is compassionate, understanding, and provided me with some valuable insights on the dynamic and how it related to my upbringing. I highly recommend Stacie.”

“Stacie is very thoughtful and friendly. She is great at asking you questions to help you think about things from a different perspective. She has helped me gain self-confidence and value myself in ways I never thought possible. I 100% would recommend Stacie Brethauer to everyone.”

“She’s very nice and supportive. Knowledgeable and very good at listening and helping sort things out.”

“Stacie is the best therapist ever!!!”

“Stacie was a wonderful listener and helpful for me. Highly recommend.”

“      When I first started BetterHelp I was not impressed nor did I feel any better about myself with my first therapist.  At first I thought she was ok, then I decided to try a new one.  So lets say about 4 therapist later and maybe even five or six diffent therapist I almost gave up.  I was quite livid and was actually pondering of getting my first therapist back.  Do not get me wrong she was ok but I just did not connect with her as I wanted to.  So I was extremely frustrated and I actually did try to cancel but you guys are smart and have ways to make us dbl think our actions.  Well kudos to you and honestly Thank You. I signed up with a therapist by the name of Stacie Brethauer.  I was not expecting much from her at all and to my astonishment I sent a message and she replied quickly.  I couldnt believe it.  Then as we were messaging she treated me normal.  I was wating for the "oh Im sorry I cant help you" line.  She didnt do it.  Then amazingly I found myself telling her things I wouldnt tell many people at all.  I think the reason is ......  SHE ACTUALLY ACKNOWLDEGED MY MESSAGES IN A EXTREMELY TIMED MANNER..... Stacie also put thought into her answer as if she has empathy for her client.  She gives multiple reasons to maybe try something new, as she tries to genuinly help your personal situation and not what she thinks is right.  She has given me a tiny tiny light in some areas that I have not seen before lately.  I wanted to say because of her I will continue to use Better Help services (as long as I can afford it).  There is alot I need to work on to better myself and I know its one step at a time but at least Stacie has helped me at least look at the stair case and take one step up and honestly we all know that is the challenge is just to start.  I give this woman a 110 Tenacity, heart and beauty as a person and Better Help has a true diamond in the rough to help your business to grow and help others expondentially.”
