Stacey Herrera

Stacey Herrera is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She brings five years of social work experience and a long background in the Air Force to her clinical practice. Stacey focuses on helping people manage relationship strain, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what’s happening now and on building skills to cope with stress, manage strong emotions, and improve communication.

Stacey draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and learn emotion regulation skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete steps and quick progress. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past events keep affecting day-to-day life.

Her style is calm and direct. She aims to treat people with respect and to create a practical plan that fits their situation. Expect clear suggestions, skill practice, and check-ins on progress.

Stacey’s background in the Air Force informs her perspective on stress, structure, and transitions. She can discuss challenges related to injury, illness, work-related stress, or major life changes and tailor sessions to personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that comes from daily thinking patterns.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT techniques can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants steady tools for managing strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacey will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and put new skills into use between meetings.
