How Stacy’s Approaches Work Online

Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. She also draws on the Gottman Method to identify repetitive relationship patterns and build better communication habits. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals so clients can see progress quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacy will talk with each person about their goals, worries, and what has felt helpful in the past. Then she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what actually helps.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and keep therapy part of a busy life.
