How Stacy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Stacy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy when working with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel understood and can discover their own solutions.

She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when those are needed. These methods can be adapted to virtual formats so clients practice specific tools, track progress, and review skill use between visits. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; Stacy collaborates with each person to shape the plan based on goals, symptoms, and daily life demands.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone can be an easier option when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support. This range helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady contact while working toward change.
