Stacey Tenbrink is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Rhode Island. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Stacey aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what is hard right now.
Her work often centers on helping people who struggle with attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges after divorce or separation.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with substance use and related recovery issues as well as emotional difficulties linked to fertility, dissociation, or disruptive mood symptoms. Stacey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and blends approaches to suit each person’s situation. She shapes conversations to focus on practical skills, communication, and steps that can be tried between sessions.
This makes therapy feel less like theory and more like day-to-day help. Sessions are meant to help people build coping tools, boost self-understanding, and strengthen resilience. Stacey encourages gradual change, working at a pace that matches each person’s needs and comfort level.
She works in English and practices as a Rhode Island licensed mental health counselor and a South Carolina licensed professional counselor. People considering therapy can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style aimed at steady progress.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Stacey uses several evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, values, and present-moment choices. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how unhelpful thinking patterns affect mood and behavior and teach practical skills to change those patterns; this can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and commitment oriented methods help people notice uncomfortable feelings, clarify what matters most, and take steps toward those values despite difficulty; this is useful for life changes, low self-esteem, and ongoing worries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will listen to each person’s story, goals, and daily needs, and then suggest approaches to try. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made so the work fits the person’s life and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low, and chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
