About Stacy
Stacy Tallman is an Iowa licensed independent social worker (LISW) with seven years of practice. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Stacy also supports people navigating grief, major life changes, and self-esteem struggles.
She helps people who are managing trauma and attachment difficulties, including those affected by adoption and foster care. She has experience supporting people with autism, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and personality-related concerns. Stacy also addresses issues like isolation, career stress, and challenges around intimacy.
Her approach is client-centered and collaborative. Stacy uses straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and evidence-based techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and EMDR when appropriate.
Stacy is open to both faith-informed and secular perspectives depending on what the person prefers. She aims to help people clarify values, build emotion regulation skills, and reduce reactive patterns that lead to snapping or resentment. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than grand promises.
Stacy works in English and practices in Iowa as an LISW. Cost varies with location, and sessions use a cancelable subscription model. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
How Stacy Uses ACT, CBT and DBT Online
Stacy draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in clear, practical ways. ACT helps people notice thoughts and reconnect with values so they can make choices that matter despite strong emotions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking. DBT teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Stacy works with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She may try one approach first and add skills from another as needs change.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Therapists can use exercises, homework, and skills training in virtual sessions so the work moves into everyday life without expecting large disruptions to routines.
