About Stacey
Stacey Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image, and caregiver stress.
Stacey uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through immediate problems. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, coping strategies, and clearer communication patterns. She adapts her approach to the concern a person brings rather than using a single fixed method.
Her background includes working with people who have experienced loss, traumatic events, or ongoing stress from health and caregiving situations. That experience informs how she helps people pace the work and handle strong emotions. She pays attention to symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, or seasonal low mood and addresses them with focused techniques.
When blended household issues come up, Stacey helps individuals navigate role changes, loyalty tensions, and routines that need adjusting. She talks through ways to set boundaries, improve communication, and build consistency across households. The aim is to reduce daily friction and make co-parenting and stepparenting tasks more manageable.
Stacey expects clients to take an active role in sessions. She offers concrete tools and homework when useful, and reviews progress regularly. To begin, she asks about current concerns and short-term goals so sessions can be practical and goal-oriented.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address distress. She draws on brief, focused interventions that teach practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and grounding exercises and step-by-step strategies to reduce avoidance. These techniques help when anxiety limits daily tasks or causes frequent worry.She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process past harm in manageable steps. That work often includes pacing sessions, identifying triggers, and developing ways to tolerate strong emotions so day-to-day functioning improves. For depression and grief she emphasizes activity planning and problem-solving to rebuild routine and purpose.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person’s situation. If one technique does not feel right, adjustments and alternatives are discussed together until a good match is found.
Confirm the current session options before booking since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For practical reasons, some people choose sessions that do not require video, while others prefer a full-length meeting; discuss options when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
