About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Iowa. She brings nine years of experience and a steady, down-to-earth approach to helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. Stacey listens first and works at the pace each person needs.
She centers the relationship and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing emotions, anger, and everyday stressors.
Background and approach
Her background includes work as a behavioral health intervention specialist and as a domestic abuse advocate. Those roles shaped how she responds to trauma, safety concerns, and family difficulties. Stacey often helps people who are coping with loss, compassion fatigue, or feeling isolated.
Therapy draws on a mix of methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights strengths and small steps that create quick shifts.
Trauma-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas guide work when past experiences affect current relationships. Parents who are juggling care responsibilities, blended family issues, adoption or foster care questions, or attachment concerns can find concrete tools here. Stacey aims to teach coping strategies, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm so daily life feels more manageable.

How Stacey’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions; it helps when trust, closeness, or parenting bonds feel strained. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and empowered to set their own goals; it works well for stress, life transitions, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques based on what helps most, whether that means more skills practice, trauma-focused work, or a supportive listening space.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use a shorter, flexible format. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
