About Stacie
Stacie Ridley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. Stacie aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and real for each person she meets.
She works from the view that clients are the experts in their own lives. Stacie helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face hard moments.
Background and approach
Her style is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on practical skills and steady progress. Stacie uses several trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also integrates EMDR and somatic techniques when trauma and body-based responses are central to the problem. People commonly come to her for help with relationship struggles, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, impulsivity, and mood differences like bipolar disorder. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and substance use challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stacie supports clients step-by-step, helping them set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping. To begin, she guides people through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process so therapy can align with their needs and availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, addresses traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce the emotional charge of past events. It is commonly used when trauma or abuse are central concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences to decide whether CBT, EMDR, somatic work, or a mix of methods fits best. Clients and the therapist adapt the plan as progress is made, checking in regularly about what helps.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while still working through trauma, anxiety, addiction recovery, or relationship and parenting stress.
