About Stacie
Stacie Sylvester is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 20 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She focuses on improving self-esteem, building self-love, and finding clearer direction in life.
Stacie uses straightforward, compassionate care. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She helps people handle relationship shifts, communication problems, and social anxiety in day-to-day life.
Her work draws from several well-known therapy styles to match each person’s needs. That can mean using Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts, or Attachment-Based ideas to better understand close relationships. She adjusts methods to what the person wants to achieve.
Stacie’s background includes long-term clinical experience in Kentucky. Her years of practice have covered issues such as post-traumatic stress, domestic violence aftercare, divorce and separation adjustments, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also supports young adults and women working through identity and life-purpose questions.
In sessions she aims for clear steps people can try between visits. Conversations often include goal-setting, skill practice, and reflection on what worked. To start, she asks about current struggles and what success would look like, then co-creates a plan to move forward.

How certain approaches shape online therapy
Stacie draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach focuses on guiding questions, reflective listening, and small doable steps toward goals.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based ideas help people understand how early and close relationships affect current struggles and how new patterns can be practiced in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit. If something doesn’t feel helpful, they adjust the plan and try a different approach.
