Her approach is calm and collaborative. Stacey helps people build routines that support better mood and clearer thinking. She encourages steady progress and realistic goals so change feels manageable.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts your goals and experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what matters to you, and helps you find your own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviors through short exercises and homework that are easy to do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. These methods help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily life. She will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods over time, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises. Phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter interactions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and use formats that feel comfortable for them.
