About Stacey
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, relationship problems, and related concerns including some phobias and ADHD. She has worked in many settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction treatment programs, clients' homes, and private practice.
Stacey uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral skills and acceptance strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and increase flexible action. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas and client-centered listening are woven in when they fit the situation.
Sessions typically focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Stacey helps people build communication and social skills, manage impulsivity, and practice coping tools for stress, sleep, or cravings. She also works on issues around self-esteem, grief, intimacy, and finding motivation or life meaning.
Her experience includes individual therapy and group work across a wide age range. Stacey has supported people with chronic medical issues, caregiving stress, codependency, body image concerns, and life transitions such as divorce or blended family adjustments. She adapts her approach to the person’s pace and preference rather than forcing a single method.
Stacey aims for a relaxed, down-to-earth style in sessions and uses humor when appropriate. She explains methods when clients want to understand the reasoning, and she skips lengthy theory when clients prefer straightforward problem solving. The focus is on steady progress toward the client’s goals.
How Stacey uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who feel held back by worry or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey treats selection of methods as a collaborative process. She will talk through options, try practical exercises, and adjust based on what helps meet the client’s goals and preferences.
The therapist’s background includes experience with telehealth, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and save travel time, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that fit a lunch break. Some methods translate well to remote sessions because they rely on exercises, skills practice, and guided reflection rather than in-person procedures. If a client prefers more explanation of why a method is used, that can be included; if they prefer brief skill practice, sessions can focus on that instead.
