About Stacey
Stacey Sugar is a licensed counselor who combines insight-focused work with practical strategies. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and guides people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Stacey listens for patterns in relationships and behavior, and she helps clients discover small changes that make a real difference.
Her approach centers on understanding attachment and how early relationships shape current choices. She also uses client-centered conversations to follow what matters most to each person, and cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking. Those methods are used together to help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, and depression among other concerns.
In sessions, Stacey encourages people to slow down and notice their internal reactions. She helps name feelings and uncover the unconscious habits that keep patterns repeating. That often leads to clearer decisions and a stronger sense of who someone wants to be.
Stacey also supports people facing relationship strains, intimacy worries, or family-of-origin issues. She works on communication, boundary setting, and reclaiming agency after hurt or loss. Her style balances deep listening with practical exercises clients can use between sessions.
People who choose Stacey can expect a collaborative rhythm. She offers guidance while inviting clients to set the pace and priorities. To start, she asks a few questions to understand the situation and then tailors a plan grounded in the person’s needs and goals.
