About Katy
Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues that affect veterans. Sessions also address self-esteem, motivation, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.
Katy emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions. She describes therapy as collaborative and treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. She uses plain language in sessions and a relaxed manner, often bringing an appropriate sense of humor when it helps the conversation.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Katy focuses on building on strengths to manage worry, improve relationships, and face painful memories. She also addresses related themes such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and guilt or shame.
Katy notes she does not provide Christian-based counseling, does not work with couples, and does not see anyone under 18. She also offers a place for Jewish clients who want to discuss cultural concerns or experiences of rising antisemitism. She works in English and does not take international clients.
Therapy with Katy centers on straightforward conversation and skill-building. Prospective clients are guided to select an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work
How Katy uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focuses on moving toward valued actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck after big life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult connections. It can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and improving how someone relates to partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision may shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Katy aims to use these practical benefits to help people apply skills in day-to-day life and manage relationship or family-related strains without promising a particular outcome.
