Approaches and online care that fit your needs

Stacy integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the client’s own process of self-discovery - it can be helpful for clients working through identity, life transitions, or complex emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. When relationship or attachment issues are central, elements of emotionally-focused work can be woven in to explore emotions within interpersonal bonds and improve communication.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Stacy collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and experiences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual needs rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with Stacy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for their healing and growth.
