How Stacy’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a plan around their goals. In practice this means Stacy listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set practical steps that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Stacy uses CBT to teach tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns and for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness. These techniques can help with stress, grief, and ongoing worries by training attention and calmness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will talk with each person about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and therapist work together to pick skills and strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit care into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules and keep progress moving between meetings.
