How Stacey Uses Talk Therapy and Skills Work Online
Stacey often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her clinical work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can clarify their own goals. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and panic episodes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stacey works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She uses initial sessions to assess concerns like stress, grief, or life-purpose questions and then adjusts techniques based on what seems most helpful.
