Background and approach
Stacy treats concerns such as sleeping trouble, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Stacy believes each person knows their story best. Her role is to listen, ask helpful questions, and offer tools that match a person's goals and situation.
She encourages people to try steps between sessions so progress continues outside therapy. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of life changes and relationship stresses. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Stacy pays attention to values and life purpose as part of recovery and growth. Beginning therapy starts with a short matching process and scheduling that fits the client's life.

CBT and Practical Online Therapy for Parenting Stress
Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT involves breaking problems into small, manageable parts and testing changes in daily life; it can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and parenting-related stress.The best approach is often discovered together. Stacy works collaboratively to match techniques to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She will suggest options, explain how they work, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or upkeep between longer sessions. This range of formats helps people maintain consistency and fit therapy into parenting and work schedules.
