Stacey Tenbrink , LMHC, LPC

Stacey Tenbrink is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She practices in Rhode Island and brings five years of clinical experience to conversations about coping and growth. Stacey aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps people identify small, usable steps to feel better. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, stronger coping skills, and ways to build self-worth over time.

Stacey uses methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral ideas and acceptance-oriented strategies. She adapts conversations and goals to match each person's needs, focusing on what will help in day-to-day life. That might include working on boundaries, reducing substance use, or managing intense moods.

She has supported people facing attachment and abandonment concerns, body image struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and relationship communication problems. Stacey also has experience with addiction, domestic violence, divorce and separation, fertility-related stress, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder among other concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Stacey uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and tailors scheduling to fit each person's needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Stacey draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors because it focuses on small, practical changes one step at a time.

She also uses acceptance-oriented techniques that teach how to notice difficult emotions without getting stuck in them. These methods support work on self-esteem, body image, and coping with life transitions by helping people stay connected to personal values while managing hard feelings.

Finding the right way to work together is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep or change as therapy moves forward.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video is useful for more conversational work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports faster check-ins, and text messaging helps keep progress between sessions. These options let people fit care into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
