About Stacey

Stacey Tweedt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work. She practices in Minnesota and focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, trauma, grief, intimacy, eating issues, parenting concerns, and self-esteem.

Stacey describes therapy as a practical process where people build insight, identify values, and learn new skills to make daily life feel more manageable. She has a history of working in addiction treatment, corrections, social work, and mental health recovery.

Background and approach

That background shapes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Stacey uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs rather than a single strict model. In the therapy room she is direct and often uses a touch of humor to keep things real.

She emphasizes noticing patterns that lead to hurt or avoidance and then practicing different ways to respond. The aim is to increase flexibility so moments that once felt overwhelming become more tolerable. Stacey lists Family and parenting among her focus areas and offers practical support around family dynamics and parenting stress.

She helps people untangle communication problems, codependency, caregiver strain, and family-of-origin issues that affect daily life. Sessions may include skill practice, values work, and checking how changes fit into everyday routines. Stacey works collaboratively to set goals and tries to keep therapy grounded and useful for busy parents and adults facing life changes.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and connection patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That way therapy stays relevant to parenting demands, relationship needs, or recovery work.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, work, or recovery commitments while keeping the focus on skill practice, values work, and solving everyday problems.

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.
