About Stacey
Stacey Zimmerman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, codependency, and parenting concerns. Sessions are delivered in English and designed for people who want a practical way to understand and change patterns that no longer serve them.
Stacey draws on attachment ideas to look at how early bonds shape current behavior. She pays attention to the nervous system and how feelings show up in the body. Her approach blends several methods so sessions stay focused and clear rather than confusing or overly technical.
In practice she uses both present-focused and past-focused work. That means looking at what's happening now and tracing roots back when that helps. She aims to help people notice drivers of their behavior and consider different responses that feel more in line with their goals.
Stacey describes her style as integrative and analytical while keeping things simple. She invites honest feedback and asks clients to point out when sessions feel uncomfortable so she can adjust the pace. She does not give direct advice but offers considerations for clients to try and reflect on.
Her background includes community mental health, juvenile detention, therapeutic foster care, geriatric wellness-assisted living, medical social work, and private practice. Before social work licensure she served 14 years in the U.S. Army and later worked as a contractor with the U.S. Navy. This range of settings informs how she sees stress, caregiving strain, and trauma.
How sessions work
How Stacey’s approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. ACT often focuses on practical steps and small experiments to build a different relationship with hard emotions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior. That approach helps people name patterns such as people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or difficulty setting boundaries so they can try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit best for their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adapts the mix of techniques over time as needs shift.
