How her approaches guide online work

Stacey often draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and building new routines that reduce distress.

She also uses mindfulness methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These tools can help with stress, sleep trouble, and managing strong emotions that follow separation or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacey works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Conversations in early sessions focus on what matters most and what small steps feel doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats Stacey currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible check-ins. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example, a shorter phone check-in can help when time is tight, while video sessions allow more visual cues during deeper conversations.
