About Stacy

Stacy Tallman is an Iowa licensed social worker, LISW, with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those facing major life changes and grief related to divorce and separation.

Stacy often focuses on attachment and family dynamics. She helps people work through adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and challenges related to autism and neurodivergence. She also addresses social isolation, trauma, and complicated feelings such as emptiness or self-harm thoughts.

Her style is person-centered and collaborative. Sessions involve talking through what matters to the client and trying concrete skills that fit daily life. She uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and elements of client-centered work.

Stacy can help with communication problems, commitment or intimacy concerns, and relationship conflict. She also works with people coping with career stress, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Practical tools and structured skill practice are common in her sessions.

Stacy offers a straightforward way to begin therapy. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. CBT usually involves identifying specific thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to daily problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present. That approach supports people facing life transitions, grief, or persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and uses listening and reflection to shape the work together.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Stacy works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to try.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so skill practice fits everyday life.
