Stacey Wade

Stacey Wade is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, eating struggles, and low self-esteem. Stacey creates a calm, respectful space where clients go at their own pace and feel heard.

She focuses on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to build coping skills and increase insight. Stacey often supports people managing social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, body image concerns, and difficulties tied to pregnancy, postpartum, or fertility. Divorce and separation are also an area she helps clients navigate during life transitions.

Stacey has 17 years of experience working with people who face more than one challenge at a time. That experience includes helping those with co-occurring mental health and eating or food-related issues. She also addresses patterns that come from family-of-origin experiences.

Her style is person-centered and trauma-informed, which means sessions focus on each person’s values and pace while recognizing the impact of trauma. Stacey aims to help clients build resilience and practical tools for day-to-day life.

People who work with Stacey can expect steady support, clear goals, and attention to real-world challenges like managing symptoms, rebuilding self-worth, and planning next steps after major life changes.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Stacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and healing. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and managing symptoms through structured practice and clear steps; this helps with anxiety, depression, and seasonal mood changes. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which recognizes past harm and helps people develop safety, regulation, and gradual processing of difficult memories; this often supports those with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable for the client.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work, childcare, or medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic or for more regular sessions when steady support is needed.
