About Stacey
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She works with adults on issues like intimacy, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Sessions aim to help people make steady, useful changes rather than chasing perfection. She brings 11 years of experience in a range of settings.
Background and approach
That includes telehealth, assisted living, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, clients' homes, and independent practice offices. Stacey has worked with people from many cultures and ages, and she adapts to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Stacey often uses somatic ideas alongside talk-based methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn ways to calm it. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when those methods fit a person's goals. Her style is relaxed and warm.
She explains techniques simply and checks in about what feels helpful. Some people like detailed explanations of why a method works, and some prefer a more direct, skills-focused route; she adjusts to those preferences. Sessions include practical skills, reflection on patterns, and doable plans for change.
Stacey aims to help people feel more in control of everyday challenges and clearer about next steps toward their goals.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Stacey blends somatic work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in ways that fit remote care. Somatic-informed work helps people notice physical signs of stress and learn simple body-based practices to reduce tension, which can be done over video or phone. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking small committed actions toward a better life; it suits people juggling anxiety, depression, or life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, and online sessions can support learning new ways to connect and set healthy boundaries.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with the person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in about what’s helping and adapts the plan over time so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like flexibility and access from home. Video calls let a therapist observe nonverbal cues, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide options for people who prefer shorter or more frequent contacts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills between sessions.
