About Stacey
Stacey Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas. She holds an LCSW and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Stacey focuses on family and relationship challenges and on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
She uses practical, straightforward conversations to help people move forward. Clients can expect a respectful and down-to-earth approach. Stacey aims to tailor discussions and plans to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and helps prioritize small changes that make daily life easier. Her work addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her background includes supporting people through blended family adjustments, divorce and separation, communication problems, and fatherhood issues.
She also helps with coping during serious health challenges and with substance use and recovery concerns. Stacey draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. In sessions she may use cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.
Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing strategies are also part of her toolbox to improve emotion regulation and readiness for change. Solution-focused steps and trauma-informed practices guide work on concrete goals and safety. Stacey describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She works with each person to set realistic goals and build practical skills. Her style is grounded, compassionate, and focused on usable strategies for family and relationship stress.
Approaches that guide online family and relationship work
Stacey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, and she may incorporate Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and easing the impact of traumatic experiences through paced, stabilizing techniques and practical coping tools. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and builds readiness when making difficult life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those priorities. Clients collaborate on a plan and can adjust techniques as progress is tracked.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give a face-to-face experience, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins. These options help people access consistent support and practice skills between sessions without traveling.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
