She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma, and everyday challenges like sleep, eating, and parenting. Stacey works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable.
She brings 11 years of experience across many settings, including assisted living, skilled nursing, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, and private practice. Stacey has worked with adults across a wide age range and has led individual and group therapy. Her clinical work includes attention to ADHD, bipolar concerns, intimacy and attachment issues, and caregiving stress.
Stacey commonly blends several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. She often mixes skills and perspectives rather than relying on a single method.
Her style is relaxed and empathic. She balances practical skill-building with opportunities to talk about deeper patterns and life meaning. Clients who want explanations about how and why methods are chosen will get them, and those who prefer a simpler, action-focused path will also be supported.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and making values-based choices. It uses simple exercises to help people accept difficult feelings while taking action toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with clear, doable strategies like thought records and behavioral experiments. These tools help with anxiety, depression, and daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and closeness, and it can help with intimacy, communication, and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacey will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may try one approach for a while, mix techniques, or shift strategies as progress is made.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it possible to join from wherever your schedule allows. Therapists help arrange a plan that fits your routine while focusing on practical skills and steady changes in thoughts and everyday habits.
