About Stacey
Stacey Schmid is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or struggles with motivation. Stacey aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to make small, practical changes.
Stacey draws on six years of professional experience to shape conversations and plan steps that fit each person's life. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Discussions are tailored so sessions feel relevant to day-to-day needs. Sessions center on clear goals and manageable strategies. Stacey helps people identify what gets in the way of feeling better and tries approaches that build confidence and coping skills.
Progress is paced to each person's comfort and circumstances. She treats clients with sensitivity to sexual orientation and identity and offers support for LGBT concerns. Stacey also supports people navigating family conflict and the stress of caregiving roles without assuming a one-size-fits-all method.
Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer-term work to shift patterns. Stacey encourages open conversation about what is helping and what needs to change, so plans stay practical and focused on real life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Stacey uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and recovery. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it helps people handle worry, low confidence, and negative thinking patterns. Another approach centers on building concrete coping skills and routines to manage stress, cravings, and emotional overwhelm; this is useful for addictions, burnout, and daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what needs to change so the process stays practical and client-centered.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging works for brief updates or people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to make it easier to get consistent support around busy schedules and life changes.
