Stacey writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable.
She practices from a Narrative-informed perspective, asking about the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.
Background and approach
She blends that with acceptance and cognitive strategies when helpful, and pays close attention to attachment patterns that shape how people relate. Sessions focus on small, useful changes rather than jargon-heavy explanations. Stacey has eleven years of experience in a mix of settings including telehealth, assisted living and nursing facilities, in-home visits, inpatient and outpatient addiction programs, and independent practice.
Her background includes individual work, groups, and occasional family or couples involvement when appropriate. She brings experience with a wide range of life stages and cultural contexts. Her manner is relaxed and direct, and she aims to make the process collaborative.
Clients who want to understand why a particular method is suggested get clear, simple explanations. Others who prefer to skip the theory can get straightforward skill work and check-ins instead. Stacey offers sessions in English and provides several online formats.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Stacey directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Stacey often uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This involves listening for recurring themes and then opening space to try different meanings or actions that shift how the story affects daily life. It can be helpful for relationship patterns, identity concerns, and life transitions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach simple skills for noticing painful thoughts and choosing values-based actions. ACT helps when avoidance or worry gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Attachment-based ideas are used to spot how early relationship patterns affect current connections and to practice safer ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Stacey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust what she does based on what helps. Clients are invited to ask questions and shape the plan together so therapy feels personally meaningful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth needs, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short, ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
