Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Stacey draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and coping skills, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. When trauma is a primary concern, Stacey applies trauma-focused techniques to address the impact of past harm and to support recovery in ways that respect pace and readiness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances and together they determine which methods and strategies will fit best for the individual’s needs.

Online therapy with Stacey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, structured care across distance.
