The Gottman Method shows up when relationship patterns are the focus, offering specific communication and listening exercises aimed at repairing trust and managing conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for setting concrete, short-term goals and building on what already works in someone’s life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stacy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest experiments, tools, and homework, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief adjustment is needed. Discuss scheduling and session length during the matching process to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
