Her practice reflects a holistic outlook and a preference for exploring alternatives to medication when appropriate. Stacy’s therapeutic approach is client-centered and humanistic, and she incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify strengths and find solutions. Her counseling style is warm, supportive, positive, and compassionate.

Stacy welcomes the greater accessibility that teletherapy offers and looks forward to supporting people as they begin their therapeutic journeys.
Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience - therapy can be accessed in the format that best fits an individual’s life, whether by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions regularly and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if the fit is not right a client may choose to switch providers at any time. For many people, the combination of proven effectiveness and flexible access makes online therapy a practical and valuable option.
