Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Stacy Ciano integrates practical, client-focused methods that can be especially helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to build coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and create steady progress toward day-to-day goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings are intense or reactions feel hard to control. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action guided by personal values, supporting people who want more clarity and direction in life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacy works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing and what they want to change, then tailors the work to fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy also makes support easier to access. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around busy schedules and different communication styles.
