About Stacey

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, mood problems, and family challenges. She practices in Florida and brings 11 years of experience as a mental and behavioral health therapist. Stacey uses straightforward, practical conversation to help parents and adults sort through what matters most.

She keeps sessions relaxed and down-to-earth while maintaining professional focus. Her work often centers on parenting and family issues alongside grief, trauma, bipolar and mood concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or identity.

Background and approach

Stacey draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person. She explains options plainly and matches tools to a person’s pace and preferences. Stacey trained as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW (Florida LCSW SW16157) and has worked in many settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction treatment programs, and independent practice.

That variety shaped her practical approach to everyday problems and life transitions. In sessions she mixes talking, skill practice, and homework when helpful. Stacey pays attention to relationships and history, but stays focused on steps clients can try between sessions.

She aims to help people feel more capable and less overwhelmed. Parents will find a therapist who talks plainly about parenting, communication, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and managing mood or substance concerns while juggling responsibilities. Stacey adjusts her pace so parents can fit change into busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for busy families

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small steps you can take even when feelings are hard. It helps people move toward a meaningful life while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or sleep troubles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships and past bonds shape current patterns and helps people shift interaction habits for healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options in plain language and adapts techniques over time so the work stays useful and manageable for parents and adults.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into parenting schedules, commute times, or workdays. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, teach communication tools, and check progress between sessions using the format that works best for each family or individual.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
