Stacey Kamp , LMFT

Stacey Kamp is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who combines formal training in Counseling Psychology with ongoing doctoral study in Art Therapy. She brings creativity and imagination into sessions as tools for self-discovery, while making it clear that formal art skills are not required to benefit from this approach.

Stacey uses an integrative model that draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, humanistic principles, and mindfulness practices. This blend allows her to tailor interventions to each person, supporting clients as they learn practical skills, explore underlying patterns, and build greater emotional resilience. Her focus is on empowering people to manage anxieties and to find a clearer path forward toward more satisfying and meaningful daily life.

Approaching each person with calm positivity, Stacey emphasizes the individuality of every journey and creates space for honest exploration with empathy and compassion. She also maintains a website and blog at creativepsychotherapymarin.com with resources and reflections aimed at helping people navigate life’s challenges.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stacey frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT teaches practical strategies for managing worry, panic, and everyday stress by focusing on skills that can be used in daily life.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT offers concrete tools for handling intense emotions and improving relationship interactions.

Mindfulness therapy is woven into her work to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactive responses to difficult thoughts and feelings. Practicing mindfulness can help people respond to stress with greater clarity and calm.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Stacey works with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care across different life situations, helping people access support in ways that integrate with their routines.
