About Stacey

Stacey Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She brings five years of clinical social work experience and a long background in the Air Force to her practice. She focuses on practical help for relationship strain, stress and anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She listens to what matters most and then shapes conversations and goals to match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize clear steps and doable strategies rather than jargon. Stacey uses tools that help people manage mood, reduce worry, and improve communication.

Clients often work on adjusting to life changes, repairing relationship patterns, and addressing past trauma so it stops shaping day-to-day choices. She also supports people facing blended family challenges, grief related to illness, and concerns that come with separation or infidelity. Addiction, anger, and issues around guilt or shame are included in her practice.

Stacey combines techniques from cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, and trauma-focused work to create tailored plans. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help people find momentum and short-term wins. The goal is to build skills that make daily life more manageable.

Her communication style is practical and compassionate. She aims to make small, steady changes that add up. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to available times.

How her approaches guide online work

Stacey draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks issues into specific thoughts and actions to practice differently.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past traumatic experiences. This approach focuses on processing difficult memories and building coping skills that reduce the ways trauma shapes daily reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online options can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving.
