About Stacy

Stacy Park is a licensed clinical social worker who helps families and individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting challenges. She practices in Tennessee and brings more than 34 years of experience to her work. Stacy speaks plainly and aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming for worried parents and caregivers.

Her sessions are practical and direct. She listens first and asks simple questions to understand what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Stacy draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful habits. Stacy also uses client-centered and motivational approaches to support people as they sort out goals and take small steps forward. She is comfortable addressing substance use, trauma, mood disorders, and family conflicts, including blended family issues and divorce-related concerns.

Stacy focuses on building respect and trust in the room so people can share honestly. She has worked in hospital crisis settings and community mental health programs, so she is used to both short-term crisis work and longer-term recovery. Stacy tailors each plan to the person or family she is working with, using what fits their situation best.

Her style is positive, straightforward, and sometimes light when appropriate. She encourages clients to find the answers that already live inside them and to practice new ways of coping between sessions.

How Stacy's Methods Fit Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify goals, which works well in conversational formats like video or phone sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change thoughts and routines that feed anxiety or low mood. Exercises and skill practice can be assigned between online sessions and reviewed during video calls or messages.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for tolerating distress and regulating strong emotions. Those skills translate into short coaching via text or live chat and longer skill-building in scheduled sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Stacy will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit the family or individual. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when screens aren't convenient, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins and skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite hectic schedules.

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.

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.
