Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Dr. Stacie Billingsley integrates well-established therapy approaches to help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions in a practical, supportive way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then building skills to respond differently. It can be especially useful when stress, worry, low mood, or self-criticism start to shape daily life and decision-making.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while also taking steps toward what matters most. It can help clients get unstuck, clarify values, and build flexibility during periods of change, grief, or ongoing stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It is often helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or find relationships and boundaries hard to navigate.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Dr. Billingsley works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the approach over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to support continuity between appointments and make it easier to engage from home or a busy schedule.
