Stacy Park, LCSW

Stacy Park is a licensed clinical social worker with 34 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She works in Tennessee and speaks English. Stacy aims to make the first step feel less daunting by meeting people where they are and treating them with respect and compassion.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation. She listens to each person’s story without judgment and helps them identify steps they can try between sessions.

Stacy has worked in a range of settings, from hospital crisis care to community mental health and longer-term recovery programs. That variety shaped her ability to support people in both urgent and ongoing situations. It also taught her to adapt to different rhythms of care and need.

In the therapy room she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to address mood disorders, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, relationship conflict, and issues like sleep, eating, and self-esteem.

She values transparency and sometimes brings a light touch of humor to sessions. Stacy helps people develop tools to manage strong emotions, rebuild confidence, and make clearer choices about work, family, and recovery. The plan is always tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How these approaches translate online

Stacy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers hands-on skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful for relationship strain and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategies to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick coaching, brief updates, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules while keeping a steady pace of care.
