Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at helping people untangle painful feelings, understand patterns, and build coping skills that fit their life. Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on a few different methods and chooses tools to suit each person.

Common themes she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, anger and impulsivity, body image and eating concerns, and difficulties after separation or divorce. Stacey also works with issues tied to parenting, career stress, bipolar and postpartum depression, and problems linked to veteran and armed forces experiences. Attachment concerns, communication problems and feelings of isolation often come up in her work.

Sessions blend listening with practical exercises. Stacey aims to make therapy clear and manageable, offering steps people can try between meetings. She supports people at their own pace and focuses on helping them regain more control over day-to-day life.

How Stacey uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people focus on values and take small practical steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer connections and clearer communication in their present relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and situation. She adapts techniques over time so people can see what helps and what needs changing.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
