About Stacy
Stacy Braiuca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, practicing in Missouri with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, parenting strain, and anger. Stacy also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, and career-related stress.
She favors a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now, how feelings show up in day-to-day life, and practical steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations cover coping skills, communication patterns, and ways to reduce intense reactions that get in the way of relationships or work.
Stacy uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what each person brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques may be offered to support emotional regulation and stress management.
She also integrates motivational interviewing when people want help making lasting changes, and narrative therapy to reframe difficult life stories. Stacy works with a wide range of focus areas including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and issues tied to gender and sexual identity. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what a person says and responding in ways that help them organize their thoughts and feelings. Online sessions use that same responsive stance to set goals and try small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT techniques focus on spotting patterns, testing new behaviors, and building practical strategies to reduce angry or anxious reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, background, and daily life. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts the plan as needed rather than assuming one method will be best from the start.
