Stacy Schmoll, LCSW

Stacy Schmoll is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with five years of experience. She emphasizes mindfulness, gratitude, and human connection while helping adults through hard times. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Stacy helps people who are facing grief, loss, and major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress. Her work embraces a strengths-based view that notices what is already working in a person’s life.

In sessions she uses a person-centered, relational approach that centers the therapeutic relationship. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to guide conversations and action steps. Stacy describes her style as compassionate and responsive, meeting each person where they are.

Practical tools are part of the process. Stacy uses mindfulness and body-centered ideas alongside reflective talk to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She encourages small, doable changes that fit everyday life and build resilience over time.

On the first visit she focuses on listening and creating clear goals together. Sessions begin with compassion and a chance to talk about immediate concerns. From there she helps people make plans and develop skills to manage emotions and behaviors that feel overwhelming.

Approaches in online therapy and what they do

Stacy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviors and helps people build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Stacy works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying strategies together and adjusting based on what helps most. The therapist frames this as collaborative work that draws on the client's own strengths and feedback.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, and chat or messaging work well for short updates or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping focus on consistent progress and practical skills.
