About Stacey
Stacey Richard-Baal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin and an Iowa Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and life changes. She also addresses communication problems, workplace stress, and separation or divorce concerns.
Stacey takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She treats therapy as a partnership and helps clients set clear, reachable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills to handle strong emotions, reduce conflict, and rebuild calm in daily life.
Her methods draw from solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral therapy to create specific strategies for problems that feel urgent now. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes.
In sessions she helps people name what’s happening, test small behavior changes, and track what makes situations better or worse. She offers tools for managing anger, panic, and workplace conflict, and she supports people processing loss or trauma. The emphasis is on clear, doable steps rather than long explanations.
Stacey practices in Iowa and holds the credentials LCSW and LISW. She works in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, anger, and patterns that repeat at work or home. She also uses solution-focused therapy to zero in on small, specific changes that can be tried between sessions and reviewed for results.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stacey works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss what seems most helpful, try approaches, and adjust based on what actually makes daily life easier.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or grounding practices in familiar routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises to remote sessions so practical tools can be practiced between meetings.
