About Stacy

Stacy Braiuca is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people through major life changes and emotional challenges. She holds a Missouri LCSW and a Kansas LSCSW and centers her work on practical, respectful support. Stacy aims to make the therapy process calm and straightforward so people can focus on what matters most to them.

Stacy uses approaches that include hypnotherapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

She listens first and then helps people choose techniques that fit their goals. Sessions emphasize real-world skills for handling anxiety, depression, stress, and mood swings. Many people come for help with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, or coping with chronic pain and illness.

Stacy also supports those navigating identity questions, addiction concerns, caregiver strain, and work-related stress. Her work includes attention to trauma, domestic violence, and first responder stress when those issues are part of the picture. Stacy favors a collaborative style.

She helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build coping strategies that fit their daily life. Hypnotherapy is offered as one of several tools to support relaxation and change in thought patterns when appropriate. Sessions are offered in English and include options that fit varied schedules.

The practice is inclusive and respectful of diverse backgrounds, and Stacy aims to help each person find clearer direction and greater resilience.

Online support

Approaches you can use online

Stacy offers hypnotherapy as one way to help with relaxation, habit change, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns through guided suggestion and focused attention. Client-centered therapy is used to create a respectful, non-judgmental conversation where the client's goals guide each session and the therapist follows the client's lead to build understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacy will discuss options and tailor techniques to match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps set priorities and decide when to use hypnosis, CBT tools, or a mindful practice during sessions.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good fit for focused check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, and people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
