About Stanley

Stanley Carlson is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska with 25 years of experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, anger, and relationship or parenting challenges. He also helps with issues like ADHD, grief, career transitions, and questions about life purpose.

Stanley uses a conversational, respectful approach. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. He blends practical tools and focused talk to help people manage symptoms and make everyday changes.

Background and approach

He often uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma or painful memories are central to a problem. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address strong feelings in relationships. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels stalled.

Across 25 years he has worked with a wide range of concerns, from addiction and compulsive behaviors to caregiver stress and isolation. He aims to build trust first, then introduce strategies that are doable between sessions. People can expect clear suggestions and a steady pace.

Stanley adapts session formats to fit life circumstances, offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He invites a collaborative process where goals are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online support

How EMDR, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online

EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of painful memories by guiding gentle, structured processing of the memory and the feelings around it. Online, EMDR elements can be adapted through guided eye movement or other bilateral stimulation while the therapist talks the client through the material.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that lead to distress and practice small behavioral changes. CBT sessions online usually involve identifying patterns, setting clear homework, and checking progress in the next meeting.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. The therapist provides empathic reflection and supports clients in finding their own answers rather than directing them. Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and collaborate to choose or mix approaches that make sense. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and adjustments are made together based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and flexible communication between appointments. These options aim to make it easier to work on feelings and behaviors while fitting therapy into a busy life.
