About Stacy
Stacy aims to meet each person where they are. She treats people as the experts on their lives and offers respectful, compassionate guidance. Sessions focus on building practical skills and supports that fit everyday life.
Her background includes work supporting those facing grief, illness, caregiver strain, and aging concerns. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional aftermath of separation or domestic violence. Stacy blends approaches so therapy can respond to whatever is most pressing in the moment.
Techniques she uses include cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, acceptance-based strategies to build willingness around difficult feelings, and client-centered listening to clarify values and goals. She draws from dialectical ideas when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.
In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and focused problem solving. Stacy supports people through transitions, loss, and long-term challenges like chronic illness. She helps people identify strengths, reduce distress, and make workable changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, chronic illness, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions by teaching concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and validation to help people gain insight and confidence while deciding what steps matter most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the approach stays practical and relevant to the client's day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep appointments during times of illness or caregiving demands. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that better fit a work break or limited bandwidth situations. Talk with Stacy about what will work best for your routine and goals.
