About Stacie
Stacie Ridley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety. She draws on 25 years of work to help people manage anxiety, grief, addiction struggles, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at everyday problems parents and adults face.
She believes people know their own stories best and that therapy builds on existing strengths. Sessions are a mix of talking, learning new skills, and trying small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Stacie aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life. Her work often centers on emotional healing after trauma and loss. She uses methods that help people process difficult memories and lessen their hold on current life.
She also supports people working to regain stability during major life changes and in recovery from substance use. Stacie integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, somatic work, and trauma-focused practices. That combination helps with symptoms like panic, intrusive memories, low mood, or difficulties with anger and impulsivity.
Sessions focus on clear strategies people can use right away. Communication and relationships are common topics in her practice. She addresses attachment issues, codependency, boundaries, and problems that stem from abandonment or infidelity.
Stacie also helps caregivers and those experiencing compassion fatigue to find better balance and coping methods. People who choose her often want a direct, steady therapist who listens and offers tools. Her work emphasizes gradual progress, practical skills, and building on strengths to create change.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on clear steps and exercises that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses EMDR-style trauma work to reduce the intensity of painful memories and their emotional impact. This approach involves guided processing that can help with intrusive memories, flashbacks, and lingering distress after traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust techniques as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to an in-person session and allow visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when video feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief support when a quick note helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
