Stacy Park , LCSW

Stacy Park is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Knoxville, Tennessee, bringing 34 years of experience to her clinical work. She has supported individuals, couples, and families across a range of settings - from crisis stabilization in hospital environments to longer term care in community mental health programs. This breadth of experience has shaped a pragmatic, respectful approach that meets people where they are and honors each person’s story.

Stacy is comfortable addressing a wide spectrum of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, substance use and addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife change. She also works with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and issues related to intimacy, self esteem, and career concerns. Her additional focuses include blended family challenges, fertility and family of origin issues, forgiveness and guilt, and isolation or loneliness.

Her therapeutic stance is marked by positivity, transparency, and at times gentle humor, grounded in the belief that many answers come from within the client. Stacy’s style draws on client-centered principles, motivational methods, strength-based perspectives, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate environment in which clients feel heard and not judged.

Stacy typically checks messages during weekdays and strives to respond promptly while prioritizing session time for clients. She encourages anyone contemplating therapy to recognize the courage it takes to begin, and she welcomes the opportunity to support and empower people as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care with Stacy Park

Stacy integrates Client-Centered Therapy into her online work, offering a warm, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person's perspective and personal goals. This approach helps clients who want a supportive space to explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-directed solutions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or mood by giving practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be incorporated when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Stacy approaches treatment collaboratively, guiding clients to find the mix of methods that best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with each person to adjust strategies over time so the therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Stacy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without sacrificing continuity of treatment, and they support ongoing progress in the ways that suit each client best.
