Stacey Herrera, LCSW

Stacey Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She draws on five years of clinical experience and a long background supporting military communities to help people facing relationship and life stressors.

She focuses on common struggles such as relationship trouble, family tension, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and problems with addiction or anger. Stacey also addresses issues that often come with big life changes - divorce, blended family concerns, midlife shifts, and the strain of caregiving or medical challenges like cancer.

Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, and she works with clients to set clear goals. Stacey uses a mix of methods that include cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused work when it fits the concern.

She emphasizes respect and compassion in conversations, and she tailors plans to each person's situation. Stacey’s background in the Air Force and years supporting active-duty members and veterans inform how she listens to stress linked to service and transition.

Therapy with her is framed as a partnership: clients talk through problems, try concrete tools between sessions, and adjust the plan as they go. People who want straightforward skills, clear goals, and steady support may find her style a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy as core parts of her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to change how they feel. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and teaches skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build motivation step by step. These approaches aim to be practical and action-oriented, so clients leave sessions with concrete things to try between meetings. Stacey collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The profile does not list which online session formats she offers, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that doing therapy remotely lets them maintain regular momentum while balancing work, family, or medical appointments.
