About Stacie
Stacie Westbrook is a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She often supports women through pregnancy and the postpartum period and people navigating the NICU experience.
Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and offers clear, step-by-step support.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to break down big problems into manageable steps and set realistic goals. Stacie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's situation. She pays particular attention to caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Clients can expect direct feedback, practical tools, and space to process difficult emotions. She also works with issues related to life purpose, workplace stress, forgiveness, and women's health around pregnancy and childbirth. Her work often includes helping parents adapt to changing roles and responsibilities without assuming a specific family therapy format.
Stacie values steady progress over quick fixes and partners with clients to find what helps most. She encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. The tone in sessions is supportive and goal-oriented, with attention to the realities of everyday life.
What Stacie works with
Everything Stacie lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Stacie helps people with.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Stacie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes managing anxiety and stress through skills-based strategies such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning; this helps when worry and overwhelm interfere with daily life. Another approach focuses on relationship and communication work, teaching clearer ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair conflict so interactions feel less draining and more constructive.Choosing the right method happens together. The therapist will listen to the client's goals, try approaches that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to each person's priorities rather than using a single fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people see visual cues and work in real time, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support easier. These options help people keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and health appointments.
