About Stacey

Stacey Zimmerman is a licensed clinical social worker who centers Narrative ideas in her therapy. She combines clear, practical conversation with attention to attachment and life story. Stacey keeps language simple and direct so parents can read quickly and feel understood.

She has six years of post-licensure experience and a long history of community work before becoming a clinician. That earlier work included roles across medical social work, geriatric wellness-assisted living, therapeutic foster care, juvenile detention settings, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Stacey also served in the U.S. military for 14 years including active duty, reserves, and the National Guard, and later worked as a contractor with the U.S. Navy. Sessions focus on finding the roots of behaviors and how life events shaped them.

She uses a blend of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Stacey balances curiosity about what created a pattern with practical steps to manage symptoms now. Her style is straightforward and invitational rather than directive.

She encourages honest expression and asks clients to speak up if an emotion feels too much. She describes her role as offering time, attention, and guided invitations rather than giving direct advice. Stacey helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleep problems, ADHD, mood concerns, and many attachment-related struggles.

She works in Florida and holds LCSW licensure in Kentucky and Florida.

Online session options

How narrative and ACT work in online therapy

Stacey often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, then look for alternatives that fit better. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach ways of accepting difficult feelings while committing to steps that match personal values. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early and current relationships shape patterns of closeness and fear. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist check in together about what helps and adjust the plan over time. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be used when screen time is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging give brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people choose what works best for scheduling, comfort with being on camera, and the type of interaction they prefer.
