Stacey Herrera, LCSW

Stacey Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who combines clinical training with long experience serving military communities. As an Air Force veteran, she spent 32 years working with active-duty service members, veterans, and their families in a variety of roles before beginning her social work career, and she draws on that background when supporting clients through relationship, family, and military-related challenges.

In her clinical practice Stacey works with people facing adjustment difficulties, family and blended family conflict, relationship problems, trauma including sexual trauma, domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences, PTSD, substance use, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and issues around addiction and recovery. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a mental health professional trained to assess needs and provide psychotherapy and care planning tailored to each person.

Stacey emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion in her work and collaborates with clients to design conversations and treatment plans that meet their specific needs and goals. She acknowledges that taking the first step toward change takes courage and offers support throughout that process. She currently has limited availability with 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM CDT slots Monday through Thursday.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Stacey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and problems with impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stacey works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy with Stacey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling around work, family, or military commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each person.
