About Stacey

Stacey Werth-Sweeney is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction concerns, and reactions to trauma and abuse. Stacey also supports clients dealing with career strain, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue.

She has worked across a range of settings with people whose needs span mild to more persistent mental health challenges. Stacey uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and to try concrete changes. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions that get in the way of everyday functioning.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her approach when people want clear steps and short-term goals. Stacey also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm interferes with current life. She adapts what she uses to fit each person’s situation and goals.

Stacey helps people who struggle with codependency, abandonment fears, control and communication problems, and issues that come up during divorce or blended family changes. She also addresses body image, money stress, caregiver strain, and isolation. Her work includes helping clients rethink coping habits and build practical skills for everyday life.

People meet with her to talk through immediate problems and to develop realistic plans for change. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How sessions work

How Stacey uses practical therapies online

Stacey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and on practicing small, testable changes. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice present-moment reactions and breathing or attention patterns that affect mood and sleep.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding motivation to change habits. That approach asks about values and priorities, and helps clients move toward goals at their own pace. These methods are useful for stress, anxiety, codependency patterns, addiction concerns, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily realities. Decisions about technique and pacing are made together and can shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and reduce the need to commute, which helps some people maintain consistency.
