Hello, I’m Stacy Lyles LPC, and I am passionate about helping individuals and couples find healing, balance, and meaningful connection in their lives. With over 10 of experience as a therapist, I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and create lasting change. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Couples Counseling. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, or self-esteem concerns, I will walk alongside you with care and encouragement. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, but about empowering you to uncover your strengths, heal old wounds, and grow into the best version of yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and supported as you move toward greater clarity, peace, and confidence.

I’m Robert L. Gould, a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, MS, LPC). I am passionate about helping people live more fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful lives. I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life, and I believe that no matter where you are starting from, positive change is possible. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, past trauma, stress, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to offer support, guidance, and tools to help you navigate these challenges. In my practice, I strongly believe that each person is the expert on their own life. My role as your therapist is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you — helping you uncover your strengths, clarify your goals, and break through the barriers that are holding you back. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and situation. I approach therapy with deep respect, warmth, and unconditional positive regard, always working to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I understand that seeking counseling can feel vulnerable or intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. That’s why I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship where you can feel comfortable opening up at your own pace. My goal is to help you reconnect with your values, discover what truly matters to you, and take practical steps toward creating a life that feels right for you. I offer flexible booking times, including evenings and weekends, to make therapy accessible no matter your schedule. Above all, I am honored to walk with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and positive change. I look forward to meeting you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Couples Counseling?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Couples Counseling, is filtering therapists in Missouri that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
