Stacie Ridley, LPC

Stacie Ridley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Oklahoma who blends practical strategies with compassionate listening. She centers conversations on what matters to each person and helps them use their strengths to move forward. Stacie presents a calm, straightforward style that aims to make early steps feel manageable for someone under stress.

With 25 years of experience, she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and adjusting to life changes. Stacie commonly helps people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and problems around abandonment or attachment.

Her work draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness approaches, somatic techniques, and trauma-focused work. In sessions she combines talk-based strategies with attention to body responses and coping skills practice. This mix helps with symptoms and with daily routines that wear on a person.

Stacie emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set small, concrete goals and practices that fit their life. She encourages people to try steps between sessions and to notice what helps them feel steadier.

People who choose Stacie can expect practical guidance and steady support while they work through difficult events and patterns. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is a good fit for anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a trauma-focused approach that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories. EMDR can be useful for people who are coping with traumatic events or strong emotional reactions tied to past experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That collaboration includes trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing a quicker check-in during a work break, or offering a session without being on camera. Speak with the therapist when scheduling to determine which format and approach will best fit your needs.
