Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal communication. It is helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the effects of past traumatic experiences through approaches that process painful memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. This work can support recovery from PTSD, sexual trauma, and other forms of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align with a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it possible to receive care with greater flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging. These options can help fit therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographic barriers.
