Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Stacey also works with issues like trauma, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, and intimacy-related difficulties. She brings 11 years of experience across many settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction programs, and independent practice. Stacey uses a flexible mix of approaches so sessions match each person’s needs rather than fitting everyone to one method. Sessions are conversational and practical, focusing on what someone can try between meetings. Stacey emphasizes a person-centered stance - clients are treated as experts on their own lives. She draws on systems and attachment ideas to look at how relationships and environments affect problems. Mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral tools, and acceptance strategies are used to build coping skills and increase emotional awareness. Some people prefer a clear explanation of techniques; others want a simpler, action-focused plan. Stacey adapts to those preferences and checks in regularly about what’s working. She aims for steady progress toward stated goals rather than an emphasis on lengthy theory. Her style is laid back and warm, with room for humor when appropriate. Stacey strives to create an atmosphere where people can talk honestly and feel heard. She works with adults and young people starting in mid-adolescence and respects cultural differences and personal values in every session.

How Stacey’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. A therapist will help match the format and approach to practical needs so therapy can fit into everyday life without adding extra burden.
