Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate midlife shifts and many other life challenges. She brings 11 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and issues like ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Stacey writes in a straightforward, down-to-earth way and favors a relaxed, conversational approach in sessions.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches and mixes what fits each person. That means sessions can include mindfulness skills, cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based practices, and techniques to improve communication and emotional regulation. Stacey emphasizes meeting each person where they are and tailoring work to individual goals and pace.

Her practice also pays attention to how relationships and environment shape problems. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns that began in earlier relationships and how they play out now. Stacey balances that with practical skills for coping, managing impulses, and handling day-to-day stressors.

People who prefer a partner-style therapist may find her collaborative tone helpful. She explains options when clients want background on methods, but she also keeps things focused and action-oriented when people want brief, practical help. Sessions aim to move clients toward clearer choices, improved coping, and better balance in life.

Stacey has worked in a range of settings, including telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, and private practice. Her varied experience informs how she tailors care to different life stages and situations.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than on eliminating discomfort.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood shifts.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. This can be useful for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and needs. That process can include trying a skill-focused option for immediate relief or a deeper relational approach when examining patterns over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since the biography notes telehealth experience but does not list current formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can keep appointments during work breaks or caregiving duties.
