About Staci

Staci Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and career transitions. Staci also works with communication problems, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, and other life changes.

Her sessions focus on practical tools and clear steps rather than long theoretical talks. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what works now and build on those small wins.

Staci aims for a collaborative style. People learn skills for handling anger, speaking up without escalating, and reducing anxiety in day-to-day situations. She guides clients through specific techniques and short exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

Over three decades of practice have shaped her into a clinician who values structure and measurable progress. Clients often work on concrete goals like managing panic attacks, improving communication at home or work, and reducing compulsive behaviors.

Staci’s approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people break down tough problems into manageable steps. That emphasis on actionable change is woven into assessment, planning, and follow-up so progress can be tracked.

How Staci uses CBT and solution-focused work online

Staci draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and challenge thoughts that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on specific patterns of thinking and on small behavior changes that reduce reactivity and distress.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to pinpoint existing strengths and build brief, practical steps toward change. That approach narrows in on what is already working and expands those successful moments into everyday routines.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Staci will work with the client to match methods to the person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, short problem-focused plans, or a mix of both.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Those practical benefits can help clients practice techniques in real-life situations between sessions.
