How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Stacey uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral methods and acceptance-oriented approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and shame. Acceptance-oriented ideas encourage noticing painful feelings without getting stuck, which can help with grief, self-criticism, and persistent guilt.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Stacey collaborates with each person to pick and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and what feels doable. She checks in about what is or isn’t helping and shifts focus as the client learns new skills.
The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice communication or coping skills between sessions and bring what happens in daily life directly into conversation.
