About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She connects with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship and parenting stresses. Stacey aims to create a warm, supportive space where clients lead the process and feel heard.
Before becoming a therapist she worked as a behavioral health intervention specialist and a domestic abuse advocate. That background shaped her focus on emotional safety and practical support when life feels hard. She commonly helps people dealing with anger, stress, compassion fatigue, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse.
Stacey uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals first. She combines that with trauma-focused work, solution-focused strategies, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on teaching coping skills, improving communication, and building strategies that fit each person's daily life.
Her training is in social work, with both a bachelor's and a master's degree from the University of South Dakota. Stacey draws on that training and her hands-on experience to offer steady guidance and concrete tools. She encourages collaboration so clients can try small changes and notice what helps.
People who prefer a straightforward, relational style may find her approach helpful. Stacey avoids jargon and works to make sessions practical and usable between appointments. Prospective clients can expect clear goals and step-by-step support toward feeling more in control.
How her approaches translate to online care
Stacey uses Client-Centered Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to set goals and pace. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and building safety and coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. Stacey will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor the mix of approaches. She aims to help clients try tools, notice what helps, and adjust the plan together over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It also makes it simple to keep momentum between meetings through consistent scheduling and hands-on skill practice that can be used in everyday routines.
