About Stacie
Stacie Sylvester is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes. She brings 20 years of experience and focuses on practical support for self-esteem, communication problems, and coping with big transitions.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as coping strategies, communication tools, and ways to reduce overwhelm. Stacie uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship needs, and the Gottman Method for improving communication and connection. She also brings emotionally-focused ideas to help process strong feelings.
Clients can expect a calm, supportive atmosphere where progress is measured in small steps. Stacie helps people understand how past experiences affect current choices and then practices different ways to respond.
Work often includes noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and reflecting on what works. She also addresses specific concerns like body image, post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, domestic violence impacts, and the strain of divorce or separation.
Stacie aims to help people build more self-love, clearer boundaries, and a steadier sense of purpose.
How her approaches translate to online care
Stacie often draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. In online sessions this can mean practicing conversational techniques, learning repair strategies, and noticing patterns that lead to drift or arguments. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship needs influence current behavior and emotional responses, helping people form more supported ways of asking for support.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays useful and aligned with the client's priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you role-play conversations and read facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when you prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
