About Stacey
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, self-esteem problems, depression, codependency, trauma, grief, and issues with intimacy and sleep. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, aiming to make therapy feel doable even on a hard day.
Stacey brings 11 years of clinical experience across many settings. She has worked in assisted living and skilled nursing, addiction treatment programs, clients' homes, private practice, and on telehealth platforms. That background gives her familiarity with a wide range of life stages and medical or behavior-related challenges.
Her work draws on several practical methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, attachment-focused thinking, and person-centered conversation. Stacey often blends methods, teaching concrete skills and also looking at patterns that started long ago. She balances short-term skill building with exploring deeper influences when helpful.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Stacey says she meets people where they are and treats them as the expert on their own life. She can explain the reasons for certain strategies when clients want that, or keep sessions focused on immediate steps for those who prefer action over theory.
Clients can expect a friendly, relaxed style with room for gentle humor. Stacey aims to reduce shame and blame while helping people find more balance, clearer boundaries, and healthier ways to cope with everyday stressors and major life changes.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It often helps people dealing with anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy, codependency, and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on skill-based CBT exercises for a time, then shifting toward attachment-focused exploration or acceptance-based practices as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking. Stacey has experience working via telehealth platforms and in person across varied settings, but session options may differ. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist and client practice real-life skills between sessions in the same kinds of settings where challenges occur. Working together, the therapist will help tailor an approach that fits daily life and therapeutic goals.
