She has helped people across a wide age range, including children, adolescents, and adults, with everyday and complex problems.

Common additional topics include body image, codependency, abandonment, and coping with major life changes.

Her approach centers on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. She adapts methods to fit each person's situation, drawing on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods among other approaches.

Stacee values clear, compassionate conversation and practical steps clients can use between sessions. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process and move through the impacts of traumatic events by focusing on safety, pacing, and practical coping skills. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and related anxiety or stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior; it helps people improve connection, communication, and trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them make their own choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible check-ins. Different approaches adapt well to remote work - for example, short mindfulness practices, focused skill-building, or pacing trauma-focused work to match a client's energy. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to find times and session rhythms that fit everyday life.
