About Stacy
Stacy Uptain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Nevada with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Stacy speaks English and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills rather than long explanations. Stacy encourages people who feel stuck to try short experiments between appointments to see what changes help.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That combination supports changing unhelpful thoughts, improving communication patterns, and identifying specific small changes that move problems forward. Conversations often include role practice and simple behavioral experiments.
Stacy has worked with issues tied to abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, mood disorders including Seasonal Affective Disorder, and developing self-love. She frames these topics in concrete terms and looks for practical next steps.
She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts, testing them in daily life, and practicing new responses that reduce reactivity.The Gottman Method is used to address relationship interaction patterns. That work looks at communication habits, repairs after conflict, and small skills that reduce escalation during arguments. It is practical work aimed at changing how two people relate day to day.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify immediate, achievable goals and builds on what is already working. Sessions often set one or two short experiments to try between meetings so progress can be measured quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques as work progresses rather than committing to a single method from the start.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing a brief check-in on a lunch break, or offering a session without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Gottman, and Solution-Focused exercises to work over distance while keeping the focus on concrete skills and real-world practice.
