About Stacey

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 11 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She commonly helps clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and identity concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and parenting or family conflicts. Stacey also works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, and coping with major life changes.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and dialectical behavior therapy skills when appropriate. She draws on person-centered and systems perspectives to situate difficulties within relationships and environments and uses strengths-based, trauma-informed methods to avoid retraumatization.

Stacey adapts interventions to each person's needs and often integrates techniques from multiple models to match treatment goals and timing. Described as empathetic and down-to-earth, she aims to build collaborative partnerships where clients can understand options when desired or simply focus on practical steps toward change.

Stacey holds the Florida LCSW license SW16157 and provides services to English-speaking clients across the state.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping

Stacey commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties, and relationship stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance strategies to help people live a meaningful life even while discomfort or difficult emotions are present.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style, and may blend techniques or pivot over time so therapy remains responsive and purposeful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow scheduling around work, caregiving, and other obligations and make it easier to use skills and strategies in real life between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these tools to provide consistent, structured care while tailoring the pace and content to each client's preferences.
