Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Stacy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches and how online sessions can help
Stacy often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at patterns in personal stories and helps people find different ways to understand their experiences, which can be useful for issues like identity, family history, and attachment.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace so they can explore values, choices, and what feels most important to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress by breaking large problems into small, actionable steps.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Stacy will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend strategies to try. She adapts methods over time based on what is actually working.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for flexible scheduling. Live chat and text sessions make short check-ins and quick supports easier to fit into a busy day. These options aim to make counseling accessible and adaptable to different routines and needs.
