More about Stanley

  • 33 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a Licensed professional Counselor with over 30 years experience. Most of my work has been in outpatient behavioral health clinics. I enjoy working with adults, up to and including seniors. My clients and colleagues have described me as understanding, easy to talk to, supportive and respectful. While I will tailor my treatment to yourspecific needs, I generally use cognitive-behavioral therapy with a humanistic, client-centered approach. I actively share my thoughts and ideas, with the understanding that my opinions are shared for your consideration. I enjoy working with individuals - whether they have depression, anxiety, situational crises, self-esteem issues, and grief and loss.

Coronavirus is affecting so many of us in so many ways. We are faced with stresses that we are not accustomed to handling. I would offer help and support for this novel (and for some, extremely difficult and painful) process.

I look forward to collaborating with you to help you make the positive changes that are important to you.

Respectfully,

Stan Schleifer, M.C., LPC

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.

Stan is a great listener and knows what questions to ask. He doesn't hold anything back, it's honest and helpful. He doesn't make assumptions and allows you to talk as much or as little as you want. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone to help them figure out what's wrong and helps you work on solutions (whether that's with or without him).

My counselor Stan has been helping me through many of my issues both personal and professional . He is very easy to open up to and it’s comforting to truly know he cares. I wouldn’t ask for anyone else. I feel so much better after talking with him. I was hesitant at first to try this but was immediately comfortable with the way he approached me with his plan to help me. I’m thankful I joined Better Help and was connected with him.

Stan's experience shines through. He is relatable and understanding, a great listener with a vast amount of experience. I found him easy to trust and he has really helped me take accountability for my mental well-being. He will work together with you to help you make positive changes in your life. I have learned if you care and are willing to take a step back to practice, we can help control our mental health.
