Stacey Wade

Stacey Wade is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns. She builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk at their own pace and feel heard. Her work emphasizes person-centered care with attention to trauma. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes and build resilience. That approach is used with people facing post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and seasonal mood shifts. Stacey also supports those dealing with body image and eating and food-related issues. She helps people untangle how eating, mood, and self-worth interact. Conversations often include concrete strategies for coping with hard moments and changing unhelpful patterns over time. She has experience assisting people through life transitions such as divorce and separation, fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, and family-of-origin concerns. Stacey works with multiple co-occurring issues rather than treating one difficulty in isolation. Across sessions she prioritizes respect for each person’s identity and values. Her style is collaborative and straightforward: identify goals, try practical steps, and review what helps. Stacey’s 17 years of experience inform a steady, supportive approach that aims to help people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Stacey uses person-centered, trauma-informed methods alongside other evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and eating and body image concerns. Person-centered work means sessions focus on each person's goals and pace, with the therapist reflecting back what matters most. Trauma-informed approaches emphasize safety and gradual pacing to address past harms while building coping skills.

These approaches help with practical skills such as emotion regulation, grounding, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Therapy often combines listening, problem solving, and trying new ways of responding between sessions. Stacey will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best for their situation and goals rather than imposing a single method.
