She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the fallout from trauma and relationship problems. Stacy uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make talking about hard things easier.

Stacy holds a LISW-CP, which means she is a licensed independent social worker with the ability to provide clinical care in South Carolina.

That means she listens first, then helps clients notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce distress. She also uses strategies designed to improve emotional connection and repair within relationships.

Sessions emphasize real-world skills: coping strategies for overwhelm, ways to manage anger and impulsivity, and methods to rebuild trust and communication. Stacy pays attention to how life roles such as parenting or caregiving affect mental health and offers focused support for those stresses.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person without judgment and helping them set the pace for change. It helps people who need a safe place to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express underlying emotions and can be useful for improving attachment and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Strategies can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since this profile does not list specific session formats. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce time spent traveling to appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact session options offered and how they can fit into daily life.
