About Stacey
Stacey Richard-Baal, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW), is licensed in Iowa and has 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and problems with intimacy. Her stated approach emphasizes self-determination and a collaborative working relationship to reach concrete goals.
She describes therapy as a partnership. Stacey uses solution-focused methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address current problems and patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness ideas to help people notice where they feel stuck and try different responses.
Sessions focus on practical steps and making measurable progress toward the goals a person chooses. Stacey has worked with people facing workplace stress, high-conflict relationships, domestic violence concerns, divorce and separation, panic attacks, and issues common to young adults and women. She also addresses communication problems, anger, and coping with life changes.
Her style aims for clear, collaborative treatment plans. She works with each client to set objectives and then tracks progress. Motivation and small achievable changes are part of how she helps people shift patterns and reduce symptoms.
Stacey practices in Iowa and offers services in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's intake flow.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people clarify their goals and make decisions that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. It can help with stress, panic symptoms, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce commute time. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice CBT exercises, review skills between meetings, and keep momentum toward goals without requiring travel.
