Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and health-related challenges. She works with adults on issues like trauma, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, and chronic illness. Stacey writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable and human.

She blends practical skills with a person-centered outlook. Sessions focus on real-life steps - learning new coping tools, improving communication, and making choices that fit daily life. Stacey often brings in mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotion regulation strategies to address current problems.

Her background includes work in assisted living, skilled nursing, addiction treatment settings, and private practice, plus experience offering care via telehealth. That range shaped her ability to guide people through illness, aging concerns, caregiving stress, and medical-related pain issues. She values culturally aware care and recognizes how relationships and environments affect wellbeing.

Stacey adapts approaches to fit each person. She explains options clearly when clients want that, and she can keep interventions straightforward when people prefer less theory. The goal is steady progress toward practical goals rather than strict adherence to a single method.

Her manner is relaxed and empathic, with room for occasional humor. She emphasizes building trust so clients can try new skills, work through attachment and abandonment issues, and restore a clearer sense of purpose while living with health challenges.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people cope with difficult thoughts and feelings while still living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps people understand how they relate to others and work through abandonment or intimacy concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before choosing techniques. That way sessions match the client's priorities and pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexible timing for people juggling work, medical appointments, or caregiving. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. The focus is on finding workable strategies that carry over into everyday routines while living with health challenges.
