About Stacey
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, and mood concerns. She offers direct, practical support for issues like low self-esteem, grief, trauma, sleep and eating difficulties, and parenting challenges. Stacey draws on 11 years of clinical experience to tailor care to each person she meets.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between appointments, clearer communication, and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings.
Background and approach
Stacey listens for what matters most to each person and uses that as the starting point for change. She draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. Stacey blends techniques rather than sticking to a single model so the plan fits the person's goals and situation.
Stacey has worked in many settings over her career, including telehealth, assisted living, nursing facilities, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, and independent practice. That variety has shaped a flexible style aimed at practical problem solving and meaning-making. Stacey values cultural awareness and a trauma-informed stance.
She aims to avoid re-traumatizing and to build on a person's strengths and life experience while helping them take steps toward clearer values, healthier routines, and better relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It commonly helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, track how they are working, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. The process is shared so goals and methods match real-life needs.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or texting can work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
