About Stacie

Stacie Ridley is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger. She works with adults who want practical ways to respond differently to old patterns and strong emotions.

Ridley draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also integrates trauma-focused tools and somatic techniques to address how stress and past hurt show up in the body.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations focus on what is happening now and small steps a person can try between meetings. She encourages people to notice patterns such as impulsivity, codependency, or avoidance and then test manageable changes.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing addiction, domestic violence, and complicated grief. That experience informs her approach to anger, attachment wounds, abandonment, and family problems without treating those issues as a single label.

Ridley speaks English and works from an adult-centered perspective. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Stacie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR techniques to address strong emotions and past wounds. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel anger and testing new behaviors in everyday situations. EMDR helps process distressing memories or events that continue to trigger intense reactions, often reducing the charge those memories carry.

She also uses mindfulness and somatic methods to help people notice body sensations and early warning signs of escalation. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity, while somatic work offers exercises to release built-up tension and regulate the nervous system.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s pace. Changes are tested in small steps and adjusted based on what proves useful.

The site instructions ask users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or avoid travel, and some approaches can be adapted to shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that helps with focus and practical scheduling.
