About Stacy
Stacy Uptain is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Nevada with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, straightforward support.
Background and approach
Stacy speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel easier for someone worried about starting therapy. She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and depression.
Relationship strain, communication problems, and challenges after separation or infidelity are also frequent topics. Stacy works with issues such as emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and feelings of isolation.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She also uses the Gottman Method to address patterns in relationships and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals.
These approaches are used in practical ways during sessions so people leave with concrete next steps. Stacy treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
She encourages small, doable actions between sessions to help momentum and change. People who want a direct, collaborative style often find her approach helpful.
Her sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. The goal is to match what feels manageable with what will move someone forward.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Stacy draws from the Gottman Method to look at day-to-day interaction patterns and improve communication and connection in relationships. That approach focuses on practical skills for handling conflict and building positive interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear, short-term goals and identifying steps that move a person toward what they want to change.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Stacy works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjusts the plan as people try things and give feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, simpler check-ins, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
