About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Iowa. She focuses on people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse. Her work also addresses issues common to caregiving, LGBT concerns, and life transitions.
Stacey brings nine years of clinical experience and earlier roles as a behavioral health intervention specialist and domestic abuse advocate. Those roles shape how she listens and responds to real-life safety and practical needs. She believes the therapy relationship matters and centers each session on the person in front of her.
Her style is warm and interactive. Stacey treats clients as the experts on their lives and offers support, coaching, and practical tools. She helps people build coping skills for things like anger, low self-esteem, isolation, or compassion fatigue.
Stacey combines several approaches to fit a client’s situation. She uses trauma-focused work when past harm affects current life, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, and solution-focused strategies for concrete goals. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and collaborates.
She earned both her Bachelor and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of South Dakota and holds an Iowa LISW credential. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.
How Stacey’s Approaches Work Online
Stacey uses trauma-focused work to help people process past harm and reduce how much it affects daily life. This approach looks at what happened, how it still shows up now, and practical steps to feel safer and more in control. Client-centered therapy guides much of her interaction; she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering support and encouragement.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Stacey combines these methods as needed so sessions focus on what the person wants to change and what will fit their life.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Stacey works with each person to pick methods that match goals, comfort level, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. She adjusts plans over time based on progress and feedback.
