More about Stanley

  • 33 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a Licensed professional Counselor with over 30 years experience. Most of my work has been in outpatient behavioral health clinics. I enjoy working with adults, up to and including seniors. My clients and colleagues have described me as understanding, easy to talk to, supportive and respectful. While I will tailor my treatment to yourspecific needs, I generally use cognitive-behavioral therapy with a humanistic, client-centered approach. I actively share my thoughts and ideas, with the understanding that my opinions are shared for your consideration. I enjoy working with individuals - whether they have depression, anxiety, situational crises, self-esteem issues, and grief and loss.

Coronavirus is affecting so many of us in so many ways. We are faced with stresses that we are not accustomed to handling. I would offer help and support for this novel (and for some, extremely difficult and painful) process.

I look forward to collaborating with you to help you make the positive changes that are important to you.

Respectfully,

Stan Schleifer, M.C., LPC

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Stan is a great listener and knows what questions to ask. He doesn't hold anything back, it's honest and helpful. He doesn't make assumptions and allows you to talk as much or as little as you want. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone to help them figure out what's wrong and helps you work on solutions (whether that's with or without him).

Stanley is a wonderful counselor. He is a great listen and also actively engages in conversation with me about different topics; helping navigate things that are hard and makes great suggestions. He is understanding, kind and empathetic but also not afraid to tell you things that need to be heard to spur growth.

My counselor Stan has been helping me through many of my issues both personal and professional . He is very easy to open up to and it’s comforting to truly know he cares. I wouldn’t ask for anyone else. I feel so much better after talking with him. I was hesitant at first to try this but was immediately comfortable with the way he approached me with his plan to help me. I’m thankful I joined Better Help and was connected with him.

Reviewed November 2020

Stan's experience shines through. He is relatable and understanding, a great listener with a vast amount of experience. I found him easy to trust and he has really helped me take accountability for my mental well-being. He will work together with you to help you make positive changes in your life. I have learned if you care and are willing to take a step back to practice, we can help control our mental health.
