About Stanley
Stanley Carlson is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska with 25 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and life changes. He focuses on practical ways to ease symptoms and rebuild routines so daily life feels more manageable.
Stanley adapts sessions to each person. He listens first, then shapes a plan together. That often means setting small goals, trying new coping skills, and tracking what works.
Background and approach
He keeps language clear and direct so busy parents can follow steps between sessions. He draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal stories and see different possibilities. He also uses Client-Centered approaches to follow a person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
EMDR and Emotionally-Focused methods are used when trauma or intense relationship feelings need focused attention. Stanley helps with issues that overlap, like addiction paired with depression, or ADHD combined with work and parenting strain. He also supports men facing isolation, fathers handling parenting stress, caregivers, and people dealing with codependency or forgiveness.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works. Stanley encourages steady, small steps and practical tools aimed at everyday life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Stanley directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Stanley uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell a different story about their problems, separating the person from the issue so stronger choices become possible. He also uses Client-Centered methods that put the person's perspective first, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. These approaches are explained plainly and applied to daily challenges like parenting, work stress, addiction, and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stanley treats that as a team effort - you and he will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. He checks in on what helps and shifts strategies when something isn’t working. The focus stays on practical steps you can use between sessions and on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or checking in between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
