Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is take the time to truly understand ourselves as this helps us learn to communicate effectively, be productive, overcome procrastination and more. This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.

There are times in your life when you may feel helpless, depressed, anxious, or even be experiencing conflict with the people you love. You may also see a family member, child, or friend struggling and wonder what you can do to help them work through their negative feelings. When we are in dark places, it can be difficult to understand that healing and hope are possible. As a counselor, I have worked with adults, couples, families, and children. I can help you or your loved ones go from a place of frustration and sadness to healing and growth. I use a combination of classical talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, sensory activities, and motivational interviewing to help reveal your strengths and uncover helpful and unhelpful patterns in your thinking. Together, we can identify themes or patterns in our conversations and use these to develop goals and strategies to heal and grow. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are and building a foundation of genuine trust and respect from the very first meeting. Your comfort is my priority. Wherever you are in your journey, I can help you to recognize your successes, identify areas for change, and create strategies that work for you, personally, to move forward.

Women's Issues
My name is Stacey Bessard, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with women, individuals, and couples who often feel stuck in unhealthy relationship cycles, weighed down by past hurts, or unsure of how to move forward with clarity and confidence. You may find yourself: Repeating the same painful patterns in dating or relationships. Struggling with trust, communication, or intimacy. Feeling disconnected from your own needs and desires. Longing for healing from past trauma so you can finally move into the future you deserve. My specialty is helping you slow down, tune into what’s really going on beneath the surface, and create healthier relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself. I use approaches like Brainspotting to help release the emotional loops of past pain, so you can step into alignment with what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, confidence, and peace in your relationships and in your life.

I know how isolating it can feel when emotions are overwhelming, relationships are challenging, or family conflict leaves you feeling stuck. I’m passionate about creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can truly be yourself—whether you’re working on building confidence and self-esteem, learning to be more assertive, navigating attachment or relationship issues, or feeling misunderstood. I welcome and support people from all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who’s struggled to find a therapist who truly relates to them. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, and together we’ll work on building stronger connections, finding relief from painful cycles, and developing practical tools so you can create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Trauma and PTSD
I believe that trauma is experienced in relationship and through relationship trauma is healed as well. It's my hope that I will always be the kind of clinician with whom my client can develop a relationship that enables them to experience a measure of healing during each encounter we have. It is also my hope that I will empower every client, through providing them with all of my knowledge and skills, in a manner that will work me out of a job. My agenda is to provide each client with skills that, when implemented, will carry them through every challenging situation that they might encounter so they can be successful in living life on purpose.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

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

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 a specific issue?

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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
