Stacy Park , LCSW

Stacy Park is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Knoxville, Tennessee, with 34 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate difficult life moments and long-term change. She has worked across a range of settings from hospital crisis stabilization to community mental health programs, gaining a breadth of experience that informs a flexible and practical approach to care.

Stacy meets clients where they are and creates a respectful space for people to tell their stories without judgment. She is comfortable addressing topics such as substance use concerns, grief and loss, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, anger management, and relationship challenges. Her work often draws on motivational, strength-based, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives to support recovery and personal growth.

Therapy with Stacy is guided by positivity, transparency, and occasionally humor, grounded in the belief that many answers come from the client’s own insight. She tailors dialogue and treatment planning to each person’s unique needs and life circumstances. As part of her practice routines, Stacy typically checks messages Monday through Friday and aims to respond promptly while balancing attention among current clients. For urgent needs she encourages seeking immediate crisis support resources.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Stacy values the opportunity to support and empower people as they work toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stacy draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and offering empathic support so clients can explore their own values and choices - it helps with relational concerns, life transitions, and building self-understanding. CBT examines thought patterns and behaviors to develop practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful for substance use, habit change, and recovery.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacy works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adapt techniques so the work fits the client’s needs, preferences, and pace. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, provide timely check-ins, and tailor interventions in ways that support progress and everyday coping.
