She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, family and parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also works with depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiving strain.
Stacie uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and build skills for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches she uses alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods.
Over three decades she has supported people facing career shifts, postpartum depression, addiction struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, isolation and loneliness, family of origin issues, and communication problems. Sessions include direct problem-solving and time spent practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.
Her work often focuses on women's issues, self-love, and finding life purpose. She brings a faith-informed perspective when it is relevant to the client. Stacie aims to help people build clearer boundaries, better communication habits, and healthier daily routines.
People can expect a mix of exploration and structured exercises. Conversations move from identifying patterns to testing small changes between sessions. Progress is measured by the practical changes people report in how they think, act, and handle stress.

How Stacie applies CBT, DBT and client-centered methods online
Stacie works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT involves breaking problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and trying small experiments to test new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques include concrete emotion-management tools and step-by-step approaches to handling conflict or strong feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is used to focus on the persons priorities and to guide sessions by the clients goals, using reflective listening and open discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacie will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands and collaborate on a plan that mixes methods as needed. This is a practical conversation about what feels useful and what can be practiced between sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats may suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth needs, or a brief coaching-style session rather than a longer meeting.
