Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical work, she brings steady experience supporting individuals facing parenting and family dynamics, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns, anger, career stress, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.

Stacy favors collaborative, evidence-informed methods that help clients build practical skills and clearer thinking, while also honoring each person’s lived experience. She integrates client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques to tailor care to each client’s needs.

How Stacy's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship, helping clients feel heard while exploring goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching skills to change those patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple practices that support emotional regulation and focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Stacy approaches that choice collaboratively. She will work with clients to assess their needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor a plan that combines client-centered listening, practical CBT strategies, and mindfulness tools as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from different locations and on varied schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when routines change.
