Stacey Tenbrink, LMHC, LPC

Stacey Tenbrink is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Rhode Island. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. Stacey focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.

She works with individuals who are dealing with grief after separation, communication problems, codependency, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. Stacey has supported people facing fertility concerns, caregiver strain, body image worries, and the effects of trauma. She also has experience with substance use and drug and alcohol addiction concerns.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to build practical skills - such as better communication, healthier coping strategies, and stronger self-worth - rather than only talking about problems. She adapts conversations to each person’s needs and priorities.

Stacey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape treatment plans. She combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with humanistic and acceptance-oriented perspectives to help clients change unhelpful patterns and accept difficult emotions. The plan is adjusted as people make progress.

Clients can expect a therapist who emphasizes respect and curiosity. The work is focused on concrete changes that make day-to-day life easier. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Stacey uses practical, evidence-based techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Humanistic methods emphasize the person’s strengths and goals, supporting self-esteem and personal growth. Acceptance-oriented tools help people notice difficult emotions without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for trauma responses and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match techniques to goals and needs, then adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep continuity of care when sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
