Therapeutic approaches applied to online care
Stacey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, avoidance, and challenges that involve uncertainty or difficult emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach she employs to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This work can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns, relationship cycles, and attachment wounds that affect trust and closeness.
She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Her practice includes experience with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for people who prefer different communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations and to maintain continuity of care amid changing schedules.
