Stacy Schmoll

Stacy Schmoll is an LCSW who helps adults navigate grief, loss, trauma, and life transitions. She emphasizes mindfulness, gratitude, and the value of human connection. Stacy aims to make therapy a straightforward, supportive place to talk about real problems and find practical ways forward.

Her work centers on a person-centered, relational approach that values the connection between therapist and client. She uses techniques drawn from client-centered practices, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to match what each person needs. Sessions are guided by compassion and a focus on strengths rather than blame.

Stacy encourages clients to notice how feelings show up in the body and daily life. She blends mindful awareness with practical tools to help with anxiety, depression, and adjustment during change. The goal is to build insight and small habits that reduce distress and improve coping.

Conversations in sessions can include emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual concerns when those matter to the person. Stacy explains patterns, asks questions that encourage reflection, and offers exercises people can try between visits. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel less stuck.

In early sessions, Stacy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. She helps set clear, real-life goals and works with people to develop steps toward them. Over time the aim is to reconnect to strengths and build sustainable ways to handle change.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and ongoing relationships shape how people connect and feel safe. In practice this looks like noticing patterns in relationships and trying out new ways of relating that feel more helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers clear exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the choice as a team decision and may blend techniques from different approaches over time based on what is working.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use written exercises and guided practices between meetings to reinforce progress without changing day-to-day routines.
