Welcome to Better Help!

My name is Stacie Billingsley, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. I earned my Master of Arts degree, specializing in Human Development Counseling, from Bradley University in 2007. I've worked in different settings with individuals, couples, and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting and more. I understand that at times the stressors we face in life can become overwhelming and having someone to talk to or find support in can make a difference. I understand that at times the difficulties, stressors, and emotions that humans face can seem troublesome to overcome and having support during this time in life is important.

You are welcome to message me anytime through BetterHelp. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem-solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day Monday-Friday.

I offer messaging, live chat, video, and phone sessions with availability Mondays-Thursdays morning, afternoon, and evenings.

Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability, so feel free to check in with me to find a time that works well for you. One 30-45 minute live session a week through livechat or phone, followed by messaging back and forth on the platform tends to work well for many people; however, there may be times where this contact increases or decreases depending upon the person.

I have experience in Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self-esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar Disorder, Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, LGBT, Grief, Depression and other areas.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Stacey is extremely patient, kind and willing to listen. I went from extremely shy and introverted to being the most vulnerable I've ever been with another human being. She's very understanding and empathetic to all of my problems, no matter how small, and I always feel 1000% better after doing a video call with Stacie :)

Stacie is uncannily receptive and supportive: she is patient, honest and authentic and she sees, understands and helps me when nobody else can. I always feel better after talking with her as she helps bring ease and space into my life. Stacie is always present and has held space for me to be open and honest since day one. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Reviewed December 2022

Stacie has been absolutely amazing. We've been having sessions close to a year now, and she is a perfect match for my needs in a therapist. When I started with Stacie it was a lot of me just, "word barfing" and allowing myself to be vulnerable. Through the connection we made she was able to help me synthesize what I was thinking and feeling and lead me in a direction that would literally change my life for the better. It was a LOT of work to get to where I am today, my last session with Stacie, but she was there to support and guide me into a place where I feel confident, content, and loved by the people around me. Be real, be vulnerable, be ready to put in some work, and Stacie can help you reflect in such a supportive and caring way. LGBTQIA+ Friendly <3

In the short time I have used Betterhelp Stacie has been a guiding light in my journey to become a better person. I came initially to discuss some relationship matters & anger management as well as some more delicate personal matters. Stacies support & encouragement has really enabled me to understand myself better, personal triggers that I was previously blissfully unaware of. I feel overall better equipped to handle my own anger & this has in turn enabled me to build a stronger more valuable relationship with my wife & family.

I could not recommend Stacie enough and I am very grateful that she is the one helping me along my journey!
