About Katy
Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in West Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. Sessions are focused and practical, helping people identify strengths and build skills to handle difficult moments.
Katy trained in psychology and clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, test new responses, and choose actions that fit their values.
People who come for help with anger often want to stop snapping at loved ones or carrying resentment. Katy works to point out triggers, connect emotions to behavior, and practice alternatives that reduce escalation. She also supports people dealing with career stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Katy emphasizes a relaxed, straightforward counseling style with an appropriate sense of humor. She invites clients to use their existing strengths while learning tools for clearer communication and better emotional regulation. She does not provide Christian-based counseling, does not run couples therapy, and does not see clients under 18.
She offers a space for Jewish clients who are concerned about cultural issues and rising antisemitism. Sessions are in English and based in West Virginia. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Katy’s methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from rigid rules or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and includes practical skill practice to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how past needs show up now, which can reduce relationship-triggered anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time based on what helps the person make steady changes and handle difficult moments more calmly. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. They also let people practice skills in moments that resemble real life, like de-escalation at home or during a break from work. Many licensed professionals use video or phone to keep therapy practical and accessible, and Katy will explain what works best for each client when arranging the first appointment.Areas of focus
