Stacey Harrell, LCSW

Stacey Harrell, LCSW, offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She focuses on building coping skills, boosting motivation, and helping clients find clearer ways to manage mood and behavior.

She brings 12 years of clinical experience and has worked in mental health, healthcare, and school settings in Louisiana and nearby states. Her background includes practice with concerns such as depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and career stress.

In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person's goals and strengths. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the drive to make specific changes.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strength-based outlook. Therapy is shaped around individual needs, with practical tools and short-term strategies alongside longer-term work as needed. Stacey aims to help people develop realistic coping skills and clearer steps forward.

Clients who choose her can expect direct conversation, goal-oriented planning, and collaborative problem solving. She encourages taking small, achievable steps and celebrates progress along the way.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Stacey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other difficulties. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and focuses on concrete steps to shift thinking and behavior.

She also relies on client-centered methods that put the person's goals and strengths first. That approach means sessions are shaped around what each person wants to work on, with the therapist listening closely and adapting the pace and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, in-between support, or when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or family obligations and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
