How her approaches guide online work

Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method as key tools in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. The Gottman Method offers exercises and communication skills that are useful for addressing relationship stress and conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will listen to your goals and try different strategies that match your needs. Together you decide which techniques to keep using and which to adjust as you make progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can support consistent practice of communication skills and CBT exercises between meetings, helping changes carry over into daily life.
