Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stacey integrates client-centered therapy by creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the focus of sessions and are treated as partners in their care. This approach helps people who want support in clarifying values, improving relationships, and building self-awareness.

She also utilizes trauma-focused therapy techniques to address the effects of past trauma and abuse, helping clients process painful experiences and develop coping skills that reduce their impact on daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method Stacey uses - it helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists work best when clients and therapists make those decisions together.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to access ongoing care from home or other locations. These formats support continuity of treatment, allow for different communication styles, and can make regular sessions more manageable for individuals and families balancing many responsibilities.
