About Stacey

Stacey Werth-Sweeney is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, career stress, and money and financial issues.

Her style is warm and interactive. She centers conversations on each person's needs and treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.

Stacey blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindful awareness and motivational techniques. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people set goals and move forward. For trauma-related concerns she uses trauma-focused approaches alongside other methods to address harm and safety.

In a typical session she listens, helps identify patterns that cause distress, and works with the person to try new ways of thinking and acting. She tailors each plan to the problem at hand and adjusts as progress is made. This can include work on sleep, self-esteem, coping with life changes, or handling stressful money decisions.

Stacey has spent years supporting people across outpatient and clinical settings. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their daily life. If someone is ready to take steps toward a more manageable day-to-day, she offers steady guidance and practical tools.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or money. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with sleep problems, stress, and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing is a short, collaborative approach that helps people find their own reasons to change and move toward goals like reducing addictive behaviors or improving financial habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. Decisions are revisited as progress is made so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
