About Stacy
Stacy Mason is an LCSW based in New York with 22 years of clinical experience supporting people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and a broad range of emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and substance use disorders.
Stacy draws on client-centered and solution-focused principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients identify strengths and pursue practical change. Her style is warm, supportive, and compassionate, emphasizing collaborative problem solving and exploring alternatives to medication when appropriate.
She has worked in community mental health centers, a hospital detox unit, with incarcerated women, and in independent practice, bringing a varied perspective to clinical work. As a mother of two young adult sons with special needs, Stacy brings lived insight into advocacy and the everyday realities of raising a child with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, providing flexible formats to align with each client’s needs.
Approaches that guide online care and practical change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and can explore personal goals at their own pace. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying clear, achievable goals and small steps that move a person toward preferred outcomes, which can be useful for relationship, career, and life transition concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand their needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor techniques from these methods to fit the situation. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is most helpful for progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support clients in different locations, and allow for continued work during life changes or when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in remote formats to help clients build skills and find solutions.
