How Stacey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client in the lead and treats the therapist as a guide. Online, this means sessions focus on the concerns the person brings and Stacey helps set goals and priorities in a straightforward way. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and needs; in remote sessions this can support couples and partners to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacey works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She may draw more on emotionally-focused work when relationship patterns are central, or on solution-focused steps when clients want concrete actions to try between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can be helpful for busy families and individuals juggling work and caregiving. Stacey uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to keep regular appointments and to follow up between sessions. These options can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make scheduling more convenient for clients across Wyoming.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
