About Stacey

Stacey Zimmerman, LCSW, brings six years of clinical social work experience and a long personal interest in attachment and behavior. She frames therapy around how people connect to others, to themselves, and to the world. Stacey writes plainly and encourages honest, authentic conversation in sessions.

Stacey draws on approaches that look at present-day struggles and their roots in past experience. She pays attention to how emotions and bodily sensations show up in everyday life. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, name needs, and try different ways of responding.

Her background includes work across many settings, including community mental health, therapeutic foster care, medical social work, geriatric wellness-assisted living, juvenile detention centers, and private practice. Stacey also spent 14 years in service with the U.S. Army in active duty, reserves, and the National Guard, followed by contracting work with the U.S. Navy.

Stacey describes her style as integrative and analytical while keeping things simple. She focuses on discovering the roots or drivers of behavior, then uses that understanding to inform practical steps. She prefers offering gentle invitations to try new approaches rather than direct advice.

Therapy may raise uncomfortable thoughts or feelings at times. Stacey aims to hold those moments carefully and asks clients to signal when they feel uneasy so the session can be adjusted. Her work includes addressing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and related issues.

How Stacey Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and trying to build a more meaningful day-to-day life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how someone connects and responds to others. It is useful for concerns about abandonment, intimacy, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust as those needs change over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to help people practice new skills between sessions and apply changes in everyday settings.
