About Stacey

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with over 11 years of experience in mental and behavioral health.

Background and approach

She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, self-esteem and identity struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and complex co-occurring conditions.

Her practice also addresses specific themes such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, and life transitions.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed models to match what each client needs, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods, along with additional skills from mindfulness and trauma-informed perspectives.

Stacey emphasizes collaborating with clients to choose techniques that fit their preferences and goals rather than applying a single rigid method. She describes her manner as laid back and empathetic, aiming to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and often incorporating practical skills and psychoeducation when useful.

Stacey has provided care in diverse settings including telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing, in-patient and out-patient addiction programs, home visits, and independent practice. Her years of experience include individual and group work, and she integrates clinical frameworks so treatment can adapt over time as needs evolve.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a values-centered approach that helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most to them; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors, often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic journey, and Stacey collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts interventions over time, integrating skills or shifting frameworks when benchmarks or new priorities arise, so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow skills practice and check-ins between synchronous sessions. Stacey uses these formats to maintain continuity of treatment and to meet clients in ways that work for their daily lives.
