About Stacey

Stacey Schmid is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on practical support for daily life challenges. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and depression in straightforward, compassionate ways. Stacey emphasizes respect and sensitivity while working with each person.

She uses a collaborative style that adapts to what each person needs. Conversations are goal-focused and plans are built from what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

That can mean short-term tools for coping or longer work on confidence and motivation. With six years of professional experience, Stacey combines real-world strategies with steady encouragement. She helps people chart small, manageable steps when life feels overwhelming or when habits and reactions get in the way of daily functioning.

Stacey also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career stress. Parenting is a named focus, and she can help individuals navigate parenting challenges and the emotional strain that often comes with caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Stacey guides each person through an individualized plan and aims to make therapy practical and usable between sessions.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Stacey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One approach centers on teaching coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as simple breathing and behavioral exercises that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes building motivation and self-esteem through goal setting, small action steps, and reviewing what worked between sessions; this helps when confidence or momentum is low.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey works with each person to identify what they want to change, then tries methods that match those goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress going even during hectic weeks.
