Approaches and Online Care for Everyday Challenges
Stasia integrates client-centered therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide her online practice in accessible, practical ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply to a person’s experience and collaborating to set goals - it helps when someone needs validation, stronger self-understanding, or support making personal changes. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past traumatic events and teaches specific strategies to process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing effects, which can be helpful for those coping with abuse, loss, or overwhelming stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. Stasia works collaboratively to assess a person’s needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques and pacing to fit what will be most helpful for that individual.
Online therapy with Stasia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
