About Stacey
Stacey Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She brings a background that includes extensive prior service in the Air Force and a long history of working with military communities in non-clinical roles before earning her LCSW.
Background and approach
Stacey focuses on helping people navigate relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, and stressors related to life transitions and coping skills. Her approach is collaborative and tailored, blending evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to match each person’s needs.
Stacey also attends to issues that often accompany these concerns, including substance use, anger, self-esteem struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the impacts of infidelity or separation. She emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion while working with clients to create practical, individualized plans.
Stacey offers scheduled sessions during mid-day hours Monday through Thursday and invites those ready to take a step toward change to reach out and explore a collaborative path forward.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
CBT helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills and can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship challenges interfere with daily life. Motivational Interviewing uses a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation style to strengthen personal motivation for change and can support work on addictions or ambivalence about steps forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stacey works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions rather than applying a single model, adapting techniques from different approaches as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make attending regular sessions easier for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats support ongoing skill-building, check-ins, and the ability to receive tailored interventions from licensed professionals without needing in-person visits.
