About Stacie
Stacie Ridley is a licensed professional counselor who draws on 25 years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Stacie keeps sessions clear and straightforward so people can take small steps toward feeling better.
Stacie uses practical methods that help people manage symptoms and process painful memories. She often blends cognitive behavioral ideas with trauma-focused tools and body-centered techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions focus on concrete skills, safety, and creating manageable goals.
People come to Stacie for help with relationship struggles, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to attachment and abandonment fears. She also supports those dealing with substance use, impulse problems, bipolar mood challenges, and long-standing shame or guilt. The work mixes talking, skill practice, and gentle attention to how the body holds stress.
Her approach is collaborative. Stacie listens first, then offers methods that match a person’s goals and comfort level. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and helps people notice small changes that add up.
Stacie practices in Oklahoma as an LPC, which means she holds a license as a professional counselor. Sessions are conducted in English and are meant to fit into each person’s daily life and responsibilities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Stacie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as core parts of her approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can ease symptoms related to abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Stacie will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust based on what helps. The therapist and client collaborate to pick techniques that feel doable and fit each person’s pace.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking. The main practical benefits are convenience and easier scheduling for busy lives. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare, and travel, and they often allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they work for your routine and goals.
