About Stacey

Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, stress, anger, trauma, and grief.

Stacey draws on prior roles as a behavioral health intervention specialist and a domestic abuse advocate. That background informs how she talks with people about safety, emotions, and hard family histories. She also helps people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, and blended family issues.

Her sessions are client-centered and interactive. She treats the relationship between therapist and client as important and respects the person's knowledge of their own life. Conversations often focus on practical skills to manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety, and handle conflict more clearly.

Stacey uses a mix of approaches including trauma-focused work, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she may help identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new behaviors, and set small, achievable goals. She also attends to how early relationships affect current patterns.

Clients can expect straightforward dialog, skill-building, and short-term problem solving when appropriate. Stacey supports people working through life transitions, caregiver strain, codependency concerns, identity questions, and reconciling family of origin problems. She offers care in English to adults in Iowa.

How her approaches transfer to online work

Stacey commonly uses trauma-focused work and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Trauma-focused work looks at the impact of painful events and helps people develop coping skills for strong emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and teaches new ways of behaving to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to prioritize skills practice, problem-solving, or processing past events.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It can also let people choose whether to use video or a different format depending on what feels manageable that day.
