Background and approach
Stacie blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. That can include acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, and attachment-based work to improve close relationships. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard as they work on change.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and codependency. She has experience with autism spectrum concerns and a range of personality and mood presentations. Stacie aims to make the process manageable.
She helps people set small goals and build on progress. The emphasis is on steady, practical steps toward more manageable days.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Stacie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and learning new skills to change behavior and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try different techniques and keep what works best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing shorter updates. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different daily rhythms.
