Online approaches - practical therapy for everyday challenges



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and strengths. The therapist provides empathic support and helps the client explore feelings and values so they can make clearer decisions and build stronger relationships. This approach is useful for people seeking validation, self-understanding, and improved communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes by giving clients tools they can apply between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and foster emotional regulation. It can complement other approaches when clients want to manage stress, increase focus, or respond more calmly to difficult emotions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Stacy works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable and effective.
