About Stacey

Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and the stress of major life changes. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she centers the conversation on each person’s needs.

Stacey draws on a mix of approaches to help clients gain practical skills. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.

Her background includes work as a behavioral health intervention specialist and as a domestic abuse advocate. That experience informs how she talks about safety, boundaries, and navigating difficult relationships. Stacey earned both her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work at the University of South Dakota and holds the LISW credential.

In sessions, she treats the therapeutic relationship as a working partnership. She listens for what is most important to each person and helps build coping skills tailored to their situation. Expect practical tools you can try between meetings and adjustments as needs change.

Stacey lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas and can address attachment and blended family issues as part of broader concerns. She practices in Iowa and conducts sessions in English.

How Stacey’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Stacey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify patterns of thought that feed anxiety or depression and then practice different behaviors to change outcomes. Trauma-focused methods help people process past events that continue to affect mood and relationships and teach grounding and emotion regulation skills.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which methods fit the person’s situation and pace, and they check in regularly to see what is helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life examples from home into session conversations.
