Stacy Uptain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Nevada with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Stacy also helps people dealing with issues like abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, emptiness, and questions about life purpose.
Stacy frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for practical ways to use existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills people can try between meetings. She uses straightforward, goal-oriented approaches that make it easier to practice new ways of thinking and relating.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. Together these methods guide conversations about what’s most urgent and what can change next.
Stacy keeps sessions focused on concrete problems and small experiments. People can expect to talk through recent events, identify patterns, and leave with one or two things to try. She emphasizes building skills that handle daily stress and relationship tensions.
For someone feeling stuck after a job change, breakup, or health shift, Stacy aims to clarify where to start. She asks practical questions, listens for strengths, and helps create manageable steps toward clearer direction.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stacy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small experiments to change emotions and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method looks at relationship patterns and communication skills, helping partners reduce conflict and rebuild trust. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting short, practical goals and noticing what already works, which can speed progress in specific areas.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Stacy collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from a quieter location. Some online formats also make shorter check-ins and focused skill work easier to schedule. Discuss practical needs when you match so the therapist and client can pick the most suitable way to meet.
