About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma. Stacey takes a warm, straightforward approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She believes the relationship between therapist and client matters most. Sessions are collaborative - Stacey listens first, then helps clients name goals and pick steps toward them.
Background and approach
She treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and structure where it helps. Stacey uses several approaches to match what a person needs. That can include trauma-focused methods to address past hurt, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals.
These tools are mixed to fit each situation rather than applied the same way for everyone. Her background includes work as a behavioral health intervention specialist and as a domestic abuse advocate. That experience shaped her focus on safety, clear communication, and practical coping skills.
Stacey also holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work from the University of South Dakota. In sessions people can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. The work often focuses on learning new coping skills, improving communication, and rebuilding routines after stressful changes.
Stacey aims to help people feel steadier and more confident in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood, and it is useful for stress, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on processing past harm and building coping skills to reduce the ways trauma affects day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey meets people where they are, listens to goals, and together they decide which methods to try. That way therapy is tailored and adjusted as progress is made or new challenges come up.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers typing. These options give flexibility to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or day-to-day demands while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
