Background and approach
Stacey tailors each plan so it fits a person’s real-world routines and goals. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, substance use concerns, and mood challenges, and she has experience addressing attachment and abandonment themes. That experience informs a calm, respectful approach to sensitive topics.
Stacey emphasizes listening first, then practicing skills together in session. People who want to improve self-worth, reduce anxiety, or change unhelpful habits will find practical strategies offered. She also helps with caregiver stress, body image, codependency, divorce and separation, and grief around fertility struggles.
The aim is steady progress through small, achievable steps. Stacey holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor. She works with clients in Rhode Island and offers multiple online formats.
If someone wants a direct, empathic clinician who focuses on clear tools and steady support, Stacey provides that style of care.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Stacey uses forms of evidence-based therapy that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and values. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment ideas encourage choosing actions that match personal values, even when hard feelings remain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will listen to goals and try methods that match what a person wants to change. Together they decide which techniques feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a screen-free option is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share short updates, or work through quick coping strategies without a full session. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
