About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and difficulty managing emotions like anger and stress. Stacey offers a calm, supportive presence to help someone feel heard and understood.
She draws on a mix of trauma-focused, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions are interactive and centered on the person's goals. Stacey treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical strategies that fit daily routines.
Before becoming a therapist she worked as a behavioral health intervention specialist and a domestic abuse advocate. That background informs how she responds to safety concerns, family dynamics, and the impact of trauma. Her training includes a master of social work and an undergraduate degree from the University of South Dakota.
In the room she helps people build coping skills, challenge unhelpful thinking, and map small steps toward change. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when those issues come up. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with an emphasis on what the person wants to accomplish.
Stacey practices in Iowa and conducts work that supports people through grief, caregiver stress, codependency, abandonment concerns, and other family-related issues. She emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving as part of therapy.
Approaches that guide online work and problem solving
Stacey uses cognitive behavioral methods that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes. This approach is useful for worries, panic, low mood, and patterns that keep problems stuck. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship history or early connections shape current reactions. These ideas guide conversations about trust, closeness, and how people relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She listens to preferences and adjusts techniques so they feel practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, and make it simpler to join sessions from different places when needed. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep continuity of care while focusing on skills, coping, and tangible next steps.
