About Stacey Shane-Nusbaum
Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with more than 11 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. She has worked across diverse settings including online telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, clients' homes, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment programs, and private practice offices. Her clinical work has spanned individual therapy, group sessions, families, and couples, serving people from about 15 years of age through later adulthood.
Stacey has supported individuals facing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and PTSD, some phobias, OCD, ADHD, grief, self-esteem and identity concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, codependency, impulsivity and communication difficulties, maladaptive coping, parenting challenges, life transitions, medical and pain-related issues, and behavioral addictions. She draws on a broad set of intervention skills and specialized training including mindfulness-based cognitive strategies, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing for trauma, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic approaches, gestalt and somatic work, narrative techniques, mindfulness skills training, communication skills, and even laughter therapy when appropriate.
Her practice integrates person-centered, systems, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, strengths-based, humanistic, and psychodynamic frameworks, tailoring interventions to each client's needs and preferences. Stacey adapts her methods - sometimes blending approaches side-by-side or transitioning between models at therapeutic benchmarks - so care is individualized rather than one-size-fits-all. Her style is fairly laid back, empathetic, and caring, and her clients report they do not feel negatively judged by her.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where aligning behavior with values matters. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how those patterns affect current intimacy, trust, and communication. It can be helpful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues across the lifespan. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting the client where they are, supporting self-discovery and growth through a non-directive, respectful stance.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stacey collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She often integrates elements from different models to tailor care and will work with each person to choose strategies that feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions from different locations or when scheduling is tight. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, adapt to individual communication preferences, and provide accessible support for people managing busy lives or mobility and caregiving demands.
