Stacey Tenbrink

Stacey Tenbrink is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Rhode Island and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and her practice addresses a broad range of related concerns listed below.

Stacey sees people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress, codependency and commitment problems. She also supports those affected by divorce, separation, domestic violence, dissociation, and difficult mood concerns including Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Substance use and forgiveness work are included among her focus areas.

Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Stacey blends cognitive and acceptance-oriented methods with humanistic and rational-emotive ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and practise different ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative; she works with clients to set practical goals and try strategies between meetings.

In practice she helps people talk through communication problems, rebuild self-worth, and manage addictive behaviors. She uses straightforward conversation, skills practice, and problem-focused exercises. Progress is often measured by small, concrete steps people can notice in daily life.

Therapy is provided under the reported credentials LMHC and LPC. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.

Evidence-based approaches used in online sessions

Stacey uses cognitive-based methods that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people who feel stuck by repetitive thinking.

She also uses acceptance-oriented techniques that focus on noticing difficult feelings and committing to actions that reflect personal values. These methods can help with coping during life changes, managing urges in addiction, and improving self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and may change as priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from wherever you are. Some formats also lend themselves to shorter check-ins or sessions without video, which can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is needed. Licensed professionals often find these arrangements help people keep momentum while balancing work and family demands.
