About Stacey

Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Iowa who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and difficulties with emotions such as anger and grief.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience and prior roles as a behavioral health intervention specialist and domestic abuse advocate, she brings practical knowledge of family dynamics and trauma-informed care to her work. Her style is warm, interactive, and client-centered, emphasizing a strong collaborative relationship.

Stacey treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to identify realistic goals, strengthen coping skills, and build strategies that fit their daily circumstances. She integrates evidence-informed approaches including trauma-focused work, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies to tailor interventions to each client’s needs.

Stacey also addresses a variety of related concerns such as compassion fatigue, attachment and family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care matters, codependency, and communication or commitment problems. Her training and background support a practical, strengths-based approach aimed at helping clients find clearer direction and more effective ways of coping with life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Stacey commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy when working with clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and build concrete coping strategies. Trauma-focused therapy centers on processing past traumatic experiences and developing skills to manage triggers and stress responses in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey works with each person to assess their concerns, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so the therapy matches what the client needs and finds most useful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy increases flexibility for scheduling and communication. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or other locations that suit the client’s routine.
