Through psychotherapy, I can help you grow as a person to be resilient in the face of adversity, manage stress, anxiety or depression, recover from a traumatic experience, work through a loss, improve your relationships and interpersonal communication, and reach the goals you have set for yourself personally or professionally.
I am Dr. Stacey Lanier, a licensed psychologist in Texas with over 20 years of experience working with clients in various areas. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship work, but I have experience with and enjoy working in areas beyond these specializations such as depression, adjustment disorder, personal growth and resiliency. I recognize that coming to talk to someone about your problems can feel very uncomfortable and overwhelming. My goal is to try to create an environment that will make you feel at ease. My style is easygoing, warm, supportive and non-judgmental.

I work with adults experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and grief.
The struggle is real, and so is the urge to stay in bed to hide from adulting. On the outside, you put on brave face or tell a self-deprecating joke, but inside is a different. Inside, your mind runs on a loop of self doubt, criticism and anxious thoughts. The people around you are clueless and think you "have it all together." You may think you suck at life, but you're a champion at hiding it from everyone around you. Grace is something you extend to other people, rarely yourself. Stress is inevitable, but living each day on edge, hoping no one notices and being in constant overwhelm doesn't have to be your norm.

Therapists are change agents. My role as your therapist is to work with you to explore your life and set goals you want to achieve. Over our sessions, we will work together to explore areas and sort through your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The counseling process is not without risks; however, the good news is that the benefits can include a greater overall sense of happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction.

Grief Therapists

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
