About Stacey
Stacey Schmid is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on meeting people where they are and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Stacey approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion so conversations feel straightforward and honest.
She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and depression. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs, so practical goals and small steps are a regular part of the work.
Background and approach
Stacey adapts her style to match how a person prefers to talk and learn. Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Together they set simple, achievable goals and track progress week to week.
That keeps work focused and makes it easier to notice real shifts over time. Stacey encourages people to name what matters most to them and then build skills to support those aims. Conversations include problem-solving, developing coping strategies, and strengthening day-to-day routines that support well-being.
She offers steady support while allowing clients to move at their own pace. Stacey is licensed as an LMHC, New York license number 007690. She works by tailoring a plan to the person rather than applying a fixed program, and she partners with clients through the change process.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Many clients benefit from focused, skills-based therapies that teach concrete tools for day-to-day coping. One common approach involves teaching coping strategies for stress and anxiety such as breath work, grounding techniques, and step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance. These practices help when worry or overwhelm make daily tasks harder.Another useful approach centers on building self-esteem and motivation through small, achievable goals and frequent feedback. This method breaks larger goals into tiny steps and helps strengthen confidence by tracking progress and celebrating changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan together based on what works.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options let people meet from home, consult between sessions when needed, and pick the format that best supports consistent progress and flexible access to care.
