About Stacy
Stacy Braiuca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 28 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. Stacy works with people experiencing relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and career or parenting stresses.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort what matters most. Sessions look at practical skills for coping, clearer communication, and ways to manage mood and sleep. Stacy also addresses issues tied to identity and sexuality, including LGBT concerns and BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.
Her background blends long-term clinical experience with several therapeutic methods. She uses client-centered therapy to follow what the person brings, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns, and hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools when those fit the goal. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a concrete change, like reducing substance use or improving work-life balance.
Stacy frames problems in everyday terms and helps people work toward practical steps. She pays attention to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, first responder pressures, and issues that come up after natural or human-caused disasters. She also works with people dealing with gender dysphoria, bipolar mood conditions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she aims to strengthen communication and build coping practices that fit daily life. Prospective clients selecting therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the work.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens and follows what the person brings, helping them find their own next steps. This approach suits conversations about relationships, identity, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical work that can include homework, mood tracking, and problem-solving helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and heighten awareness of feelings and bodily states. These tools can help with stress, anger, and chronic pain management.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, or motivational interviewing depending on the issue and the client's comfort.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use less bandwidth options like audio-only when that works better for them.
