About Stacey
Stacey Zimmerman is a licensed clinical social worker who uses attachment-focused ideas to guide therapy. She draws on approaches that connect past and present experiences to help people understand why they feel and act the way they do. Stacey uses clear, direct conversation and attention to feelings to help people make practical changes.
Stacey has six years of post-licensure experience and a long history of working in varied settings. Her background includes community mental health, therapeutic foster care, juvenile detention, geriatric wellness-assisted living, medical social work, and independent practice.
Background and approach
Before her clinical career she served 14 years in the U.S. Army and later worked as a contractor with the U.S. Navy.
In sessions she blends several methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Stacey pays attention to both present-day patterns and earlier relationship experiences to find what is driving current struggles. She emphasizes straightforward, strength-focused conversations rather than giving direct advice.
People seek her help for stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, career stress, and caregiver strain. She also works with attachment difficulties, codependency, body image, family of origin issues, and parenting strain. Stacey encourages honest, authentic work in sessions.
She invites clients to bring what feels hard into the room and offers time, focus, and practical invitations to try new ways of coping and relating. Her goal is to help people notice patterns and build skills that fit their daily lives.

How attachment work and skills translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It often supports work on anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what matters rather than fighting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current relationships and emotion regulation.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Stacey will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. She combines present-focused skills work with exploration of past relationship drivers when that feels helpful, and checks in regularly to adjust the approach.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is an issue, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while still using the attachment-focused and skills-based methods described above.
