About Stacey
Stacey Schmid is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and related life challenges. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Stacey frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical steps and real change.
With six years of clinical work, she adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That means setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting approaches when something isn’t working. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and useful, not full of jargon. Stacey emphasizes helping clients build motivation, confidence, and coping skills for daily life.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship tensions, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to addiction concerns and issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. People can expect a therapist who listens carefully and treats them with sensitivity.
Stacey encourages small, achievable steps that add up over time. She frames setbacks as information rather than failure and works with each person to find practical solutions. Therapy with Stacey can include short-term work around a specific problem or longer work on broader life changes.
She works by tailoring the pace and tools to what the client prefers, and she supports people as they try new strategies and habits.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Evidence-based techniques help guide sessions in clear, usable ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavior changes to reduce intense emotions. This helps with anger, anxiety, and daily stress by teaching concrete strategies to respond differently in triggering moments.Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real life. That kind of work helps with low self-esteem and depression by breaking down negative assumptions and practicing alternative ways of thinking and acting.
Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust methods based on what works. Clients help set the pace, and the plan is changed if something feels off or unhelpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or check in when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
