How Staci Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Staci uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT sessions often include short skill-building exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on the client’s goals and small, early steps toward them. That approach helps people try a simple change and see if it makes things better, rather than focusing only on the problem story.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client talk through concerns, priorities, and what has worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so sessions match current needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins and brief coaching possible between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for people juggling parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
