Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Stacia Gilstrap draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, and low mood by building practical skills over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values and taking meaningful steps forward. This approach can be helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry or painful experiences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills, which many people find useful when navigating intense emotions or day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacia collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and shape a plan that fits their preferences and current needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with care and get support in a format that fits real life.
