She helps clients look at patterns, develop new coping skills, and make step-by-step changes that fit daily life.

Her background includes work with adjustment issues, family conflict, blended family concerns, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, sexual trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and PTSD.

How Stacey’s approaches translate to online work

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding to stress or relationship problems.

DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills. It teaches concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck about substance use, lifestyle shifts, or making hard decisions.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across different formats, and the focus is on practical skills you can apply between sessions.
