Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, and other life challenges. She works with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Stacey also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and major life changes.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful.

Stacey brings 11 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings. That history includes telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, in-patient and out-patient addiction programs, home visits, and private practice. Her work has involved individual therapy, groups, and sometimes family or couples work when appropriate.

She favors a collaborative style that matches therapy to each person's needs and preferences. Stacey explains approaches when clients want rationale, or she focuses on practical skills when people prefer direct tools. She describes herself as laid back, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, and aims to build rapport while moving toward clear goals.

Stacey practices in Florida as an LCSW. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Therapy approaches that translate to online sessions

Stacey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and practice concrete behavior changes to feel better. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses; it focuses on clarifying values, accepting hard thoughts and feelings, and committing to meaningful actions. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work, helping people understand how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stacey will help clients explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. She aims to be collaborative so people can try skills and keep what helps most for their situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat allows quick exchanges or focused problem-solving, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
