About Stacey
Stacey Tenbrink is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Rhode Island with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She often supports people who are figuring out boundaries, communication, and how to stop putting others first.
Stacey uses straightforward conversation and practical tools during sessions. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment concepts, and humanistic perspectives to help clients notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions include learning new ways to talk to yourself, practicing limits, and testing small behavior changes in day-to-day life.
Her background includes work with people affected by substance use and by trauma. Stacey has helped clients who face attachment or abandonment issues, body image struggles, caregiver stress, and codependency concerns. She also has experience with divorce and separation, forgiveness work, and some complex mood and thought disorders.
She explains options clearly and builds a simple plan with each person. That plan typically names short goals, skills to practice between sessions, and ways to measure progress. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps could feel manageable.
Stacey works in Rhode Island and holds RI LMHC and SC LPC credentials. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the site.
How sessions work
How Stacey uses evidence-based methods in remote work
Acceptance and commitment ideas focus on noticing thoughts and values, then practicing actions that matter even when feelings are hard. This helps with struggles like avoidance, low motivation, and feeling stuck in relationships. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach concrete skills to test different beliefs and behaviors in daily life. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and habits tied to substance use. Deciding on an approach happens together. The therapist will talk about what seems most relevant to current problems and then try short experiments to see what helps. That collaborative planning includes setting small goals and checking progress over time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow scheduling around work or caregiving, and make brief check-ins more practical when a quick progress review is helpful. If camera-free or shorter check-ins are needed, discuss those preferences during the matching step so the therapist can recommend what will work best.Areas of focus
