Stacy Park, LCSW

Stacy Park is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 34 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, midlife change, and difficulties with mood or substance use. Stacy offers a calm, straightforward presence and aims to make starting therapy less intimidating.

Stacy has worked in a wide range of settings from hospital crisis care to community mental health and longer term recovery programs. That background means she is used to both short-term stabilization and longer-term work. She listens without judgment and creates space for people to tell their story.

Her style is positive and transparent, and she sometimes uses humor when it fits. Stacy believes many answers come from the person seeking help and that therapy is a collaborative process. She adapts the pace and approach to fit each person's needs.

Stacy draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are blended to address practical problems like sleep, eating, addictive behavior, and interpersonal conflict.

She commonly supports people dealing with parenting stress, blended family issues, divorce or separation, career concerns, and questions about life purpose. Stacy also works with trauma, PTSD, bipolar and seasonal mood shifts, and compassion fatigue.

Stacy typically checks messages during weekdays and asks for patience when she is with other clients. Getting started is acknowledged as a brave step, and she aims to support and empower people as they make changes in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change addictive habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for intense feelings or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose whether to be on camera or to use phone-only sessions for lower bandwidth or a simpler check-in.
