About Stacie

Stacie Westbrook is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 17 years of professional experience in Oregon. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, and building self-esteem. Stacie often supports women during pregnancy and after childbirth and has worked with families who have infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Her practical experience includes caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, and workplace issues. Stacie views each person as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach

She listens for strengths and practical resources the client already has. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on small, doable steps that fit everyday life. Parents and caregivers can expect clear guidance and emotional support without jargon.

Her approach centers on helping people talk through what matters most and find ways to reduce overwhelm. She addresses guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose in ways that feel manageable. For women navigating pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period, she offers focused, understanding care.

Stacie also helps people improve communication and repair strained relationships. She works on setting boundaries, reducing codependent patterns, and rebuilding confidence. When workplace stress or loss of direction comes up, she helps clients make plans that feel realistic.

Overall, Stacie aims to create a steady, practical space for parents and caregivers to sort priorities, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of balance.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

Stacie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, usable tools. One common approach involves practical problem-solving and skills coaching to reduce stress and improve parenting routines. This helps when daily demands feel overwhelming and families need concrete changes.

She also emphasizes communication work to improve how people talk and listen to each other. That often means practicing phrases, setting boundaries, and breaking down difficult conversations into safe steps. These exercises aim to reduce codependency and repair strained relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what’s helping and adjust strategies over time so the plan fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that matters most, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit sessions into parenting schedules and to get support between appointments.
