Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, and low self-esteem. She supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma, sleep and eating struggles, and major life changes. Stacey practices in Florida and brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work.

She uses clear, everyday language in sessions and focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. Stacey blends several approaches to match each person's needs instead of using a single method for everyone. She emphasizes strengths, cultural context, and safety when addressing past trauma or current struggles.

Stacey has worked in many settings, including telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing, clients' homes, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, and private practice. That variety shaped her ability to adapt therapy to different lifestyles and challenges. She has supported people with co-occurring mental health and substance concerns, impulsivity, communication difficulties, caregiving stress, chronic pain, and medical issues.

Her typical session draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. She may introduce mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps when they fit the goal. Sessions are collaborative - Stacey aims to help people feel involved in choices about their care.

Her manner is down-to-earth and occasionally lighthearted when appropriate. She encourages questions about how therapy will proceed and welcomes discussion about goals, expectations, and what would make sessions most useful.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward what matters in life. It can be useful for anxiety, addiction urges, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and managing closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with each person to pick and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She explains techniques when helpful and adjusts the balance between skills practice, insight work, and practical problem solving as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and fewer travel demands. Because session formats were not specified in this biography, confirm current session options before booking. In general, therapists can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based exercises for remote work so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them to everyday situations.
