About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people managing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, stress, anger, and trauma and abuse.
Her work draws on practical approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, trauma-focused techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits that make problems worse, then trying different responses to those patterns. Stacey keeps sessions interactive and goal-oriented so people learn specific coping skills.
She spent part of her career as a behavioral health intervention specialist and as a domestic abuse advocate. That background informs how she supports people dealing with family problems, domestic violence, caregiving stress, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment issues.
In sessions she helps people with communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also works with clients facing grief, life changes, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. The focus is on clear steps people can take between meetings to test what helps.
Stacey earned both her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of South Dakota. She draws on that clinical training plus her hands-on experience to build practical plans clients can try in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stacey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include identifying patterns, setting small experiments, and practicing new responses between meetings. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current interactions. That approach focuses on understanding relationship patterns and improving communication and connection. Her client-centered approach keeps the focus on the person in front of her, inviting feedback and adjusting the plan to match goals. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; she and the client decide together which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions convenient for following through on homework and for keeping momentum between appointments.Areas of expertise
