About Stacie

Stacie Ridley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common and painful struggles adults face at home and in life, including stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Stacie works with people who are carrying trauma, loss, or ongoing family stress. She listens for how past attachment wounds or abandonment show up in daily life. She also addresses patterns such as codependency, difficulty communicating, and caregiver strain that make ordinary days harder.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She incorporates trauma-focused tools, somatic techniques, mindfulness practices, and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories.

Sessions are focused and straightforward. Stacie helps people name what is getting in the way, practice new ways of coping, and try small changes that fit daily life. She checks progress and adjusts methods to match each person's goals and pace.

For someone feeling stuck after loss, struggling with impulse control or addiction, or worn down by parenting and family duties, she offers steady clinical experience and a practical skill set. To start, a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment are the next steps.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Stacie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact on daily functioning.

She also uses EMDR and somatic techniques when appropriate. EMDR is a structured method that supports processing disturbing memories, while somatic work focuses on bodily sensations and calming physical responses linked to stress and trauma. These tools are used to help with anxiety, addiction, grief, and other concerns listed in her profile.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Stacie will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in everyday life, then recommend methods to try. She reassesses and adjusts the plan as progress is tracked so the work fits the person’s needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about what session types are offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family and work, reduce travel, and allow brief check-ins when needed.
