Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with sleep, anxiety, and mood. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce stress and interrupt rumination.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. Changes are tested in small steps so the approach can be adjusted if something isn’t working.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that suit work or family routines. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others support deeper, longer sessions; the therapist and client will discuss what will fit into everyday life.
