Background and approach
Her background includes practice in several different settings, so she is used to varied needs and life situations. In sessions she uses practical, down-to-earth methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people set realistic goals and build small steps toward change.
When trauma is part of someone's story, she brings trauma-focused approaches into the work. Stacey favors a person-centered style. That means she listens first and then tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist working together to pick what will help most. She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels scary. Stacey offers guidance for coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, managing mood shifts, and regaining a sense of control.
Her goal is to support and empower people as they work toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
How Stacey's Approaches Work Online
Stacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build calmer daily routines. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors so people can try different responses to anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep and focus.She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify what matters most and to boost readiness for change. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps, and it pairs well with goal-oriented work. Stacey treats selecting an approach as a collaborative process - she and the person will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most workable, then adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be good when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that match their schedules and comfort.
