Stacey Shane-Nusbaum

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a psychotherapist licensed in Florida as a clinical social worker, holding license number SW16157. She brings 11 years of experience providing mental and behavioral health services across a variety of settings, including online telehealth platforms, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, clients' homes, in-patient and out-patient addictions and co-occurring mental health treatment programs, and private practice offices.

Stacey has worked with people aged from 15 to 90, offering individual therapy, group sessions, and, when appropriate, work with families and couples. Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

She has specialized training in a range of intervention models: mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), cognitive processing therapy for trauma (CPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches, Gestalt, somatic methods, narrative therapy, mindfulness skills training, communication skills, and laughter therapy. Stacey frequently integrates elements from multiple models, either side-by-side or in a planned sequence as therapy progresses.

Her practice is informed by person-centered work - meeting clients where they are and recognizing them as experts on their own lives - as well as systems theory, cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed care, strengths-based perspectives, humanistic approaches, and psychodynamic exploration of past influences on current patterns. Stacey adapts to each person’s needs so therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Some clients prefer in-depth explanations of the methods she uses, while others want a more straightforward, skills-focused approach. Stacey accommodates both styles, offering rationale and education when it supports motivation and empowerment, or concentrating on practical movement toward goals when that better fits the individual’s preferences. Her style is generally laid back and empathetic, and clients say they do not feel negatively judged by her. Overall, Stacey aims to support progress toward clients' goals in a way that fits their expectations and interpersonal style.
