Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Stacy commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work means she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities, helping them name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and calm their responses in the moment. These approaches are practical and often paired to match the person’s needs. Stacy collaborates with each person to choose or adapt methods, checking in about what feels helpful and changing course when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
