About Stacey
Stacey Richard-Baal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also covers issues like workplace stress, communication problems, and challenges tied to life changes.
She frames therapy as a partnership. That means conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Sessions commonly look at thoughts, behaviors, and everyday habits that feed stress or anger. Stacey uses concrete strategies alongside listening and reflection.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy and solution-focused work to set goals and notice what’s already working. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different ways of responding. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce reactivity and increase calm in tense moments.
Stacey has substantial experience helping adults manage difficult transitions such as divorce and separation, workplace conflict, and grief. She has worked with people who have experienced domestic violence and emotional abuse and supports those coping with panic attacks and intimacy-related concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from Iowa. Stacey asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan based on the person’s goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through frustrations and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests practical alternatives. It can be useful for managing anger, panic, and low mood by changing responses in the moment.She also uses solution-focused methods that zero in on small, achievable changes rather than long explorations of the past. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try, and they adjust those choices based on what actually helps. Figuring out the right mix of tools is part of the work, and it’s a collaborative process driven by your goals and preferences.
