About Stacey
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people with sleep and many other concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship trouble, and addictions. She brings 11 years of experience across different settings, including telehealth, assisted living, addiction treatment programs, and private practice. Stacey aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for people juggling busy lives.
She uses a blend of practical therapies rather than one fixed method. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or looking at how past patterns affect today. Stacey adapts her approach to each person’s needs and preferences, and she explains options so people can decide what feels right.
Her background includes individual therapy, group work, and some family and couples work with people from about 15 to 90 years old. She has experience supporting people through grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and parenting. Stacey also addresses related topics such as body image, chronic health issues, and caregiver stress.
Therapy sessions are guided by person-centered and systems perspectives. That means the client’s experience and relationships shape the work. Stacey emphasizes strengths, cultural sensitivity, and avoiding re-traumatization while helping people set realistic goals and practice new skills.
Her style is relaxed and warm, with room for honest conversation and, when appropriate, some lightness. She works to create a space where people can talk through sleep problems, day-to-day stressors, and life changes while building tools for better rest and balance.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then move toward what matters most. It can be useful for sleep problems tied to worry, stress, or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and habit changes; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape coping and rest patterns and can help with intimacy and relational stress that interferes with sleep.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which tools fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with skills work, adding mindfulness practices, or exploring relationship patterns over time based on what the client finds most helpful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also allows a mix of skill-building and check-ins that can be scheduled around work or caregiving, and it can support steady progress on sleep routines and coping strategies. Confirm the current session options with the therapist before booking to know which formats are offered.
