Therapeutic Tools That Travel With You

Stacy Braiuca, LCSW, LSCSW, draws from approaches that can translate well to online therapy and everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where clients can explore what they are feeling, clarify what matters most, and move at a pace that feels manageable. It can be especially helpful during life transitions, identity exploration, and periods of stress or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practicing practical strategies to shift unhelpful cycles. Many people use CBT-informed skills to better manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship or communication challenges. Mindfulness Therapy adds tools for staying grounded in the present moment, which can support emotional regulation and coping during difficult days.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacy works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions accordingly as needs evolve over time.

Online therapy can make support easier to fit into real life. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions, whether they are in Missouri or connecting internationally.
