About StaceyAnne

StaceyAnne Charles-Polycarpe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, parenting, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and related life changes. She also works with people facing career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues connected to adoption or caregiving.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people try small changes that can shift daily routines and thinking. Sessions often focus on communication skills, recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, and managing intense feelings.

StaceyAnne uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, build coping strategies, and practice different ways of responding to stress and relationship problems.

She pays attention to how family history and attachment influence current struggles. That can include supporting people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or family-of-origin problems. Conversations may cover setting boundaries, addressing codependency, and repairing communication.

Practical steps are part of sessions. People might work on behavior experiments, goal-setting, or short skills practice between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Fit into Online Sessions

CBT helps people identify thinking patterns and test them with small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people reduce struggle with unwanted thoughts and commit to behaviors that match their priorities.

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist helps the person set the pace, reflect on what matters, and make practical decisions about communication and boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. StaceyAnne will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and everyday life. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or transportation limits. They can also allow shorter check-ins or avoid video when bandwidth is low. Ask about the session arrangements that best match scheduling and comfort.
