How evidence-based approaches are used online
Stacy commonly draws on widely used, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. These methods help people practice manageable steps and track progress over time.Another approach addresses substance use and impulsivity through behavioral planning and relapse prevention. That work looks at triggers, develops concrete strategies for safer choices, and builds routines that support recovery and stability. These techniques are focused on small, achievable actions between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. The plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the person stays involved in deciding what helps.
