Stacey Shane-Nusbaum

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and concerns around self-esteem and identity. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar concerns. Stacey practices in Florida and uses plain, down-to-earth language in sessions.

With 11 years of experience, Stacey has worked in many settings including telehealth, assisted living, skilled nursing, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, and private practice. She has seen people across a wide age range and has led both individual and group work. Her background includes work with medical issues and chronic pain as well as behavioral addictions.

Stacey draws from several therapeutic approaches and mixes methods to match each person’s needs. She leans on acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit a person’s goals.

Her practice emphasizes meeting people where they are and respecting cultural and personal differences. Stacey pays attention to how relationships and environments affect problems. She aims to avoid re-triggering past trauma while highlighting strengths clients already have.

Stacey describes her style as relaxed and empathetic, with room for honest talk and the occasional laugh. She invites people to learn about methods when that helps, but also focuses on practical steps to reach goals without making therapy more complicated than needed.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small, doable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacey treats this as a collaborative process, listening to goals and trying methods that fit each person's preferences and needs. She will help decide which tools to use and adjust them over time based on what is helpful.
