About Stacey
Stacey Wade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports issues tied to body image, social anxiety, postpartum and pregnancy-related struggles, and family of origin issues.
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed, person-centered stance. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about what is happening now and how past family patterns still show up. She helps people notice recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits that shape current relationships and behavior.
In sessions she draws on approaches supported by research to build insight and reduce distress. Work may include looking at unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and addressing eating and body-image concerns in concrete steps. She also supports those facing fertility challenges, divorce or separation, and seasonal mood shifts.
Stacey has long experience helping people manage more than one concern at a time. That practical background is useful when depression, anxiety, eating issues, or post-traumatic stress appear together. Her practice is grounded in straightforward discussion and collaborative problem solving.
People who choose her often want direct help sorting family patterns and present-day effects. To begin, readers are invited to use the site intake flow to match and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and patterns. Cognitive-focused work looks at unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, teaching practical ways to test and change them to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Behavioral and skills-based strategies emphasize concrete actions and routines to address eating concerns, body image struggles, and seasonal mood changes.Trauma-informed care is another core element, which means attention to how past stressful or traumatic events shape current reactions. That approach involves pacing, grounding strategies, and collaborative planning so that conversations proceed at a level the client can manage. Choosing methods is a shared process; the therapist helps clients weigh options based on goals, symptoms, and what feels workable in daily life.
