Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Stacy offers online care that can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions conducted remotely follow the same clinical approaches she uses in person, with attention to building a collaborative relationship and shaping goals together. Communication options allow for a range of interaction styles, from scheduled live conversations to ongoing messaging between meetings.
She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in telework. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying and revising unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in everyday life. Mindfulness work emphasizes present-moment awareness and practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in daily routines.
Motivational interviewing and narrative methods are also part of her online toolbox. Motivational interviewing supports people who are weighing change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment. Narrative therapy helps examine personal stories and separate problems from identity. Together these approaches can be selected and tailored collaboratively to fit each person’s goals and preferences while using video, phone, chat, or messaging formats.
