Stacey Shane-Nusbaum , LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma, and many women’s health topics. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood issues, and life transitions. Stacey uses a straightforward, compassionate approach and encourages practical steps you can try between sessions.

She draws on 11 years of clinical experience in varied settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction treatment programs, and private practice. That range has helped her work with many cultural backgrounds and life stages. Stacey emphasizes meeting people where they are and tailoring therapy to each person's needs.

Stacey blends several approaches rather than relying on a single method. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, attachment perspectives, dialectical skills, and client-centered listening. She often teaches skills to reduce distress and improve communication, then practices them together in session.

Her style is calm and conversational. She aims to be warm, nonjudgmental, and human. Some people prefer a clear explanation of the techniques she uses; others want a simpler, action-focused path. Stacey adapts to those preferences and keeps the work practical.

Therapy with her can include short-term skill work or a longer exploration of deeper patterns. Sessions may focus on concrete goals like sleep or substance use, or on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. The emphasis is on usable strategies and steady progress toward personal goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation by teaching practical choices you can make every day.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and certain addiction-related behaviors.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with intimacy issues, relationship conflicts, and patterns of avoidance or dependency.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and track what helps most over time.

Online therapy lets people access care with more flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and practicing new skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, skill reminders, or short coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between meetings.
