Stacey Werth-Sweeney , LMHP

Stacey Werth-Sweeney is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) based in Nebraska with more than 15 years of experience working in a range of clinical settings. She has supported people with concerns that span mild difficulties to severe and persistent mental illness, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, and career-related stress. She has also worked extensively with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling approach is warm, interactive, and person-centered, grounded in respect, dignity, and compassion for each person she meets. She blends several therapeutic methods, including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling, and tailors conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs of each client. This flexibility allows her to address both immediate coping needs and deeper patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties.

Stacey emphasizes practical support and empowerment as clients move toward more fulfilling and balanced lives. She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and works to create a collaborative environment where people can explore change at a pace that fits their goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Stacey Werth-Sweeney frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and emotions without judgment and can help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing to support clients who are weighing change or working on goals related to addiction, career shifts, or lifestyle improvements. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people clarify their motivations and build commitment to change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Stacey works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to match practical techniques with the client’s pace and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to integrate therapy into everyday life without sacrificing continuity of care.
