Stacey Herrera, LCSW

Stacey Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with five years of professional clinical experience. As an LCSW she has advanced training in clinical social work and focuses on helping individuals and families navigate complex emotional and interpersonal challenges.

Before beginning her social work career, she served in the Air Force and spent 32 years working with active-duty service members, veterans, and their families in a variety of roles. That background informs her work with military-connected clients and others coping with trauma and life transitions.

In clinical practice she works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family problems, blended family dynamics, trauma and sexual trauma, domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences, PTSD, substance use and addictions, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses related areas such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood challenges, first responder issues, guilt and shame, infidelity and jealousy, midlife transition concerns, cancer-related stress, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Her approach draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She emphasizes treating people with dignity, respect, and compassion, and tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs. Stacey frames the decision to begin therapy as a courageous step and offers supportive collaboration throughout the change process. Therapy is provided in English.
