About Stacey
Stacey Zimmerman is a licensed clinical social worker who uses attachment ideas and practical therapy methods to help people understand how they relate to themselves and others. She draws on six years of post-licensure experience and a longer history working in varied clinical settings. Stacey emphasizes honest, down-to-earth conversation and encourages authenticity in the room.
She began her career studying how the nervous system shapes emotions and bodily sensations. After earning a masters degree she worked across community mental health, juvenile detention, therapeutic foster care, geriatric wellness and medical social work, as well as independent practice. Prior to social work practice she served 14 years in the U.S. Army across active duty, reserves, and the National Guard and later worked as a contractor with the U.S. Navy.
Stacey describes her style as integrative and straightforward. She pays attention to current problems while also looking at past patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on figuring out the roots of behaviors and trying small, doable changes to reduce distress.
Her work draws on multiple approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. Stacey aims to balance sensitivity with practical tools so people leave sessions with a clearer plan.
People turn to her for help with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, mood conditions, and career or life transitions. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
