About Stacey
Stacey Tenbrink is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical help for worry, stress, addiction, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy useful and approachable for people facing depression, major life changes, or overwhelming anxiety. She brings five years of clinical experience and holds LMHC and LPC credentials.
Stacey has worked with people struggling with substance use and related behaviors, as well as those managing relationship strain, communication problems, and identity or body image concerns.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and compassionate. Sessions revolve around understanding what is causing distress, learning clearer ways to think about problems, and building skills that can be used between sessions. She focuses on developing coping tools, improving self-understanding, and strengthening communication skills.
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to fit each person's needs. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency patterns, and the emotional impact of divorce, separation, or caregiver stress. Trauma history and dissociation are addressed with care and respect.
People who want practical strategies for anxiety, help with addictions, or support through life transitions may find Stacey's approach helpful. She works with each person to set manageable goals and monitor progress over time. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in ways that fit busy schedules.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear thinking and workable skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns so they can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. This method is useful when worry or negative thoughts get in the way of daily life.She also draws on acceptance-oriented strategies that help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that match their values. That approach can help with long-term goals like improving relationships or managing urges linked to addiction. Both approaches emphasize small, practical changes that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow for in-depth conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth when internet is limited. Live chat and text options work well for brief check-ins, written exercises, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
