About me

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!

Stacie has been amazing working with me. She is always there for me and it is sad that schedules changed. Anyone that is assigned her is in good hands. Thank you!

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.
