About Stacey
Stacey Sugar is a therapist who combines practical techniques with a focus on personal meaning. She uses approaches like attachment-informed work, cognitive strategies, and client-centered conversation to help people understand why they react the way they do and to build stronger self esteem. Stacey is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC. She brings 14 years of experience to her practice in California.
Stacey writes that people often feel stuck because they think their life story is already fixed. She helps clients notice patterns that repeat across relationships and choices. By looking at how early attachments and current beliefs shape behavior, she supports people who want clearer boundaries, more confident decision making, and healthier intimacy.
Sessions focus on practical change as well as deeper insight. Stacey mixes cognitive behavioral work with client-centered listening to identify unhelpful thoughts and then test new ways of responding. She also uses attachment-based ideas to address fears around closeness, abandonment, and trust.
Her approach is paced to each person. Clients choose how far to go and when to pause. Stacey encourages small experiments between sessions to build confidence and new habits over time.
People come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and family issues, and for help navigating life changes. She works with LGBT clients and addresses topics such as body image, codependency, and isolation.
