About Stacey

Stacey Tenbrink is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She is available to support those coping with big life changes. Stacey uses a calm, collaborative style that aims to make conversations feel manageable and direct.

Stacey holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and has five years of clinical experience. She has also worked with people facing substance use concerns and a range of mood and thought challenges. Many clients seek her help for communication struggles, parenting strain, or the emotional fallout of separation and divorce.

Her sessions emphasize practical skills alongside personal reflection. Conversations often include building coping strategies, improving self-worth, and learning clearer ways to talk about needs. Stacey draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her approach to each person she meets.

Stacey pays close attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency patterns. She has experience supporting people through fertility-related stress and trauma recovery. Her aim is to help clients form steady habits that reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning.

People who want straightforward guidance and steady support may find her approach helpful. She encourages small, sustainable steps toward healthier routines and stronger communication. When someone is ready to make a change, she focuses on practical tools that fit real life.

Approaches that guide online care

Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and personal values. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts tied to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. These approaches teach practical skills for managing strong emotions and changing behavior.

She also draws from acceptance and values-oriented work that helps people clarify what matters to them. That kind of work supports people wrestling with life transitions, caregiving stress, and long-term patterns like codependency. Sessions encourage small steps that align daily choices with personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacey partners with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts plans over time so the strategies remain useful as situations change.

Please confirm current session options before booking since the profile does not list specific online formats. Generally, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which session style would work best for your routine.
