Online session options
How her approaches work online
Stacie draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at their life stories and separate themselves from unhelpful problem narratives. This approach helps when past events or beliefs keep showing up in current choices and relationships. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds shape emotional needs and reactions, which can clarify why certain patterns repeat in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, focusing on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions rather than following a set agenda.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Stacie reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She emphasizes collaboration so the plan fits the person’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a single method from the start.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between longer sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
