Stacy works with stress, Anxiety, trauma and abuse and self esteem

Stacy lists 20 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Stacy chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Stacy's own words

What Stacy says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I promote and embrace the practice of mindfulness and gratitude, the value of human connection, and the importance of finding meaning in one's life. I work with adults navigating grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach My practice is grounded in person-centered, relational-cultural theories, and I use mindfulness, body-centered, and psychodynamic interventions. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and human resilience. I embrace a strengths-based lens to help you engage your capacity for introspection and self-awareness.

My focus I work with adults experiencing grief and loss, trauma, adjustment and life changes, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I value human connection and help clients find meaning in their lives while navigating difficult transitions.

My communication style My communication style is compassionate and responsive to your unique needs. I guide you to explore your concerns across emotional, mental, physical, family, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Using evidence-based techniques, I help you reconnect to existing strengths and cultivate resources that support the changes you wish to make.

My journey to mental healthcare Being a therapist reflects a core part of me that enjoys getting to know people at a real level. The therapy process allows for authentic, honest conversations. I guide people through personal challenges, help ease emotional burdens, and empower them to achieve a healthier mind.

My goals for you I utilize a collaborative, real-life approach to develop goals and intervention strategies that best meet your individual needs. My approach focuses on gaining a greater understanding of your unique needs and recognizing the resiliency within you.

My first session with you During your first session, you can expect compassion and emotional support as you begin to navigate difficult emotions and behavior patterns. I will be there for you as you work through negative experiences in a way that provides insight to help you feel better.

03 · How Stacy works

The 4 approaches Stacy lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Stacy lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Stacy's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Stacy runs a session.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Reads present-day relationship difficulty through the lens of how safety and closeness were learned early on. The therapeutic relationship itself is treated as part of the work, because it is where the pattern tends to show up first.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Internal Family SystemsIFS

Treats the mind as made up of parts - the critic, the one who withdraws, the one that keeps everything running - each of which is trying to protect you. The work is getting to know them rather than overruling them.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Stacy practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Stacy's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Stacy at this point.

2. Naming Stacy specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Stacy is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Stacy.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Stacy

Built from what Stacy actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Stacy's - Stacy has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Stacy's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 10 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Stacy. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
