About Stacey

Stacey Tweedt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship pain, trauma, grief, and a range of identity and eating concerns.

Background and approach

Stacey aims to help clients reconnect with their values and rebuild a life that feels meaningful. Before working in independent practice Stacey spent many years in addiction services, corrections, social work, and mental health recovery.

That broad background shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. She blends several psychotherapy approaches to match what each person needs rather than relying on a single method.

Stacey tends to be direct and sometimes uses humor to ease difficult conversations. Sessions focus on recognizing patterns that lead to feeling stuck, naming what matters to the client, and practicing skills that change day-to-day behavior.

She helps people notice how avoidance, control, or people-pleasing can keep problems repeating. Her work draws on methods such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive-behavioral strategies.

These tools are used to improve communication, manage emotions, and build healthier routines. Stacey supports people working through life transitions, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges like bipolar disorder or depression.

She helps with relationship conflict, intimacy concerns, boundaries, body image, and family of origin issues. The overall aim is steady progress toward values-driven living.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Stacey uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce repeating cycles of conflict in relationships; this approach focuses on practical skills for listening, repair, and emotional connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters most, and take committed action aligned with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her approach to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns and to build more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to clarify goals and then blends methods to match needs and preferences. Together they try different strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper discussions and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people send brief updates or get short coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy days.
