About Stacey

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 11 years of practice. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, trauma, codependency, and related concerns. Stacey helps people who keep putting others first, who struggle to set boundaries, or who feel lost in relationships.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Stacey draws from cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment strategies to help people act on their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, especially around closeness and dependence.

Her background includes work in multiple settings such as assisted living, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, clients' homes, and telehealth. This range gives her experience with a wide span of life stages and life problems, and with both short-term and longer-term work.

Stacey often blends approaches rather than sticking to one model. She may teach mindfulness and coping skills, practice motivational interviewing for behavior change, or use psychodynamic ideas to trace repeating patterns. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps people can try between meetings.

She speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Getting started requires completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the site. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Online sessions that use evidence-based approaches

Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. CBT focuses on clear steps you can practice between sessions to see small changes in daily life.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be useful when someone wants to live differently despite lingering anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationship patterns affect current closeness, trust, and dependency concerns, helping people notice repeating cycles and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacey will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where the person’s needs guide which tools are used.

The biography notes past use of telehealth; current session options should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during the questionnaire and scheduling step to confirm which formats are offered and how to best structure sessions for your life.
