Skills and values-based support, delivered online

Stacy Trostler integrates evidence-informed approaches that focus on both practical coping tools and what matters most to each client. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personally meaningful goals. It can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, or life changes feel overwhelming.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can support clients who want steadier coping strategies during high-stress periods or while working through ongoing challenges. Mindfulness-based work can also be woven in to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting calmer decision-making day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify strengths, and choose strategies that match preferences and current needs, adjusting along the way as progress unfolds.

Online therapy adds flexibility and access, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions or when real-time appointments are not possible.
