About Stacey
Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Iowa. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the emotional toll of caregiving. Stacey also helps those dealing with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Stacey brings nine years of experience in behavioral health and domestic abuse advocacy to her practice. She values a warm, interactive approach and treats the client-therapist relationship as central to progress. Stacey believes clients know their lives best and works alongside them to build practical strategies.
In sessions she focuses on skills that fit each person’s situation. That can mean learning emotion regulation tools, changing patterns of thinking, or finding small steps that lead to better days. Stacey often uses solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
She also uses attachment-based and trauma-focused methods when past relationships or painful events shape current struggles. Those approaches help people understand how early connections affect present feelings and behaviors. Stacey aims to create a space where people can explore those patterns at a steady pace.
Many clients who are caregivers or who face family stress find her practical, down-to-earth style helpful. She supports parents managing child-related challenges and people working through adoption, foster care, blended family concerns, or family-of-origin issues. Her work includes helping with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

How Stacey’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotions and expectations. Online sessions can help clients notice patterns in their relationships and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own goals. In remote sessions Stacey stays focused on the client’s concerns and follows their lead while offering feedback and reflection.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. Online meetings can include short exercises, homework, and tracking changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can tailor timing and tools to match daily routines and practical needs.
