Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Stacia Gilstrap draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to respond differently, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or low mood start to affect daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult feelings while also moving toward what matters most to them. Instead of getting stuck in a fight with thoughts or emotions, ACT emphasizes values-based action and flexibility, which can support people coping with grief, trauma-related stress, or major life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be a helpful fit for clients who want concrete tools for staying grounded and responding more effectively in high-pressure moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacia collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts along the way as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions may be available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for schedules, energy levels, and communication style.
