Stacey Christensen , LCSW

Stacey Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with clients who are navigating family conflict and related concerns such as adoption and blended family issues. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

Stacey uses a client-centered approach that adapts to each person's needs. She tailors conversations and plans to what feels most useful for the individual. That might mean short-term coping tools for panic or ongoing support for grief and loss.

Her background includes three years of professional practice in North Carolina as an LCSW. During that time she has supported people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and cancer-related concerns. She has also worked with people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Stacey listens first, then helps identify practical changes and coping strategies. She aims to make sessions feel focused and achievable rather than overwhelming.

People who choose Stacey often want a steady, respectful guide through difficult feelings. She helps clients explore forgiveness, guilt, communication problems, and decision points around end-of-life and hospice care. The emphasis is on steady progress and real-world tools.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Stacey uses practical, evidence-based techniques to guide sessions online. One approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and panic through step-by-step practices that reduce intensity and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and trauma by helping people name emotions, create manageable routines, and develop ways to remember and move forward. Both approaches aim to produce tangible changes you can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will discuss your goals, preferences, and life context and then try methods that fit your situation. Over time the plan may be adjusted based on what is most helpful for you.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while maintaining consistent care.
