About Katy
Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Katy uses a calm, down-to-earth style and aims to help clients build practical skills they can use day to day.
Katy views each person as the expert on their life. She looks for strengths and helps clients apply those strengths to get through hard moments.
Background and approach
Her manner is compassionate and relaxed, and she sometimes uses light humor to ease tense conversations. In sessions she offers straightforward tools and exercises drawn from several approaches. Katy helps people learn to identify patterns, change unhelpful reactions, and try new ways of coping.
She also focuses on attachment and relational patterns when those shape a person’s current struggles. She offers support around issues that include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Katy also works with people facing chronic illness or pain, body image concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Katy asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and schedules sessions based on availability.
Approaches and online care for relationship and anxiety work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and choices about work or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful when trust, abandonment, or intimacy issues are present.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Katy will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus and techniques as progress is made so the work stays relevant to what matters most to you.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options for busy schedules. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when that’s helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when a written check-in fits your day better. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while still using structured therapeutic tools.
