About Stacie

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of experience, Stacie Ridley focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, relationships, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. She works with people facing bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions draw on practical therapies listed in her background.

Ridley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. She also incorporates somatic techniques and trauma-focused work to address how the body and memories can hold stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the approaches she includes for processing traumatic memories.

In a typical session she helps clients name immediate concerns, try small experiments between sessions, and practice grounding or breathing exercises when needed. Conversations are goal-oriented and concrete. Homework is used as a way to practice skills outside sessions.

She has long experience supporting people dealing with addiction and substance use issues alongside mental health concerns. She also works with problems such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and communication problems. Issues like caregiver stress, domestic violence history, dissociation, and infidelity are part of her caseload.

Her approach balances talk and body-focused techniques. She helps people manage impulses, guilt and shame, and overwhelming emotions. To begin, readers are asked to confirm the current session formats before booking and to follow the site's steps to match and schedule their first appointment.

How her clinical approaches work with online sessions

Online sessions can use CBT to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT work online often includes setting specific goals, practicing coping skills in daily life, and reviewing short homework exercises together. EMDR focuses on processing traumatic memories through guided procedures; online EMDR sessions follow a structured, paced approach to help clients reduce the intensity of distressing memories. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, and these exercises can be coached and practiced during remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, somatic techniques, or trauma-focused methods make the most sense based on symptoms, history, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and goals shift.

The practical benefit of working online is that sessions can fit into busy schedules and everyday life. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to check in from between commitments, do short follow-up meetings, or practice skills and grounding exercises in real-world moments without waiting for an in-person appointment.
