She began her career in school settings and later expanded to support people in outpatient and community environments. Stacey brings a straightforward, personable manner to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

She uses a client-centered approach where the person in therapy guides the work and she acts as a supportive collaborator. Stacey helps break down problems into manageable parts, set clear goals, and try small, realistic changes between sessions. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand and respond to strong feelings, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to develop concrete strategies for next steps.

Stacey has helped people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the challenges that come with parenting and family life. She also works with issues that often appear in midlife such as career reevaluation, life purpose, and the strain of caregiving or health problems. Her approach aims to boost confidence and clarify practical choices.

Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-directed, with room for warmth and humor. Stacey encourages clients to try manageable actions between meetings and to notice what does and does not work. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than overnight fixes.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Wyoming. Stacey continues to focus on meeting each person where they are and helping them move forward at a pace that feels right.

How Stacey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist provides support and reflection so people can name what matters and decide the next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify strong feelings and understand how those emotions shape relationships and behavior; it is useful for grief, intimacy concerns, and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the problem and the person. Sessions often mix supportive listening with concrete tasks so clients can test new behaviors between meetings.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to focus on steady progress and goal-driven steps that suit everyday life.
