Stacey Shane-Nusbaum

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing life shifts and emotional strain. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and coping with life changes. Stacey uses a straightforward, caring approach so people feel heard and understood from the start.

She draws on 11 years of experience in many settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction treatment centers, and private practice. That range informs how she tailors sessions to daily life, medical concerns, caregiving stress, and changing family roles. Stacey pays attention to culture, strengths, and past experience when planning care.

Her sessions often mix practical skills and personal reflection. Stacey uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns and change unhelpful thinking. She adds acceptance and mindfulness tools to help with difficult emotions and urges. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and intimacy issues.

Stacey prefers a person-centered style that treats each person as the expert on their life. She also uses systems thinking to look at how relationships and environments affect behavior. Trauma-informed and strengths-based perspectives aim to reduce harm and build on what already works.

She believes therapy should fit each person’s pace and curiosity. Some clients want detailed explanations of methods; others want direct skill practice and short-term relief. Stacey adapts to both, focusing on steady progress toward practical goals.

How Stacey’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It pairs values-based goals with small, practical actions to move forward on things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current intimacy and trust, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and comfort with different methods. Together they pick and adjust techniques so sessions match what the person needs and wants to practice between meetings.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before scheduling, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-the-moment exercises and homework that fit daily life, so progress can carry directly into routines without promising any particular service.
