About Stacey
Stacey Tenbrink is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She practices in Rhode Island and lists stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes among her primary concerns. Stacey also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance-related problems.
She uses clear, evidence-based techniques rather than jargon. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, building practical coping skills, and practicing ways to improve communication. Stacey describes her work as collaborative and makes room for a client's values when setting goals.
Her background includes clinical work with people who have experienced trauma and those managing mood and personality concerns. She mentions experience with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), dissociation, and complex life transitions like divorce and fertility struggles. Stacey also brings experience addressing drug and alcohol addiction and related recovery issues.
In practice she draws on cognitive and behavioral ideas, acceptance-based approaches, humanistic perspectives, and rational-emotive techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Sessions aim to increase practical coping, reduce distressing patterns, and strengthen self-understanding. Stacey notes interest in supporting self-love, communication skills, and steady personal growth.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts to reduce avoidance and worry, useful for social anxiety and phobic reactions. Acceptance-based methods teach ways to notice uncomfortable feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help when fears or urges interfere with daily life.Finding the right method is part of the work itself. Stacey describes the process as collaborative - she will discuss what you want to achieve, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust them over time. The plan is developed together and changes based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work on communication skills and exposure tasks from familiar settings while keeping a consistent appointment routine.
