Background and approach
She draws on tools that match each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Her work combines approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dialectical skills, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered stance. Stacey blends techniques so clients can learn coping skills, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful patterns.
She also addresses family and communication issues and concerns about aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and body image. Stacey’s background includes online care, assisted living and nursing settings, addiction treatment programs, and independent practice. That range has shaped how she supports people with diverse life situations and medical or co-occurring challenges.
She pays attention to culture, trauma history, and individual strengths when planning work together. Her style is relaxed and empathetic, and she aims to make therapy feel accessible. Sessions focus on small steps that move toward clear goals.
Stacey respects each person’s pace while helping them build tools for lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes by building helpful habits and clarifying what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying negative thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what shows helpful results in early sessions. She explains options in simple terms and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a full session and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact while working toward goals.
