Stacie Ridley, LPC

Stacie Ridley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people face stress and anxiety. She draws on a long career in counseling to support people through painful life events and ongoing struggles. Stacie speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

She believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. In sessions she helps people identify those strengths and use them to move past what holds them back. Stacie emphasizes practical steps, steady support, and clear goals so progress feels real and understandable.

Over 25 years of experience have given her a broad background in common concerns like addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She also works with issues such as parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. Her approach is informed by therapies that focus on thoughts, body experience, and trauma recovery.

Clients can expect an approach that combines gentle challenge with active skills practice. Stacie often introduces coping strategies, mindfulness exercises, and ways to reframe upsetting thoughts. She also incorporates body-focused work when past events have left a physical sense of distress.

The goal is to help people feel steadier and more able to handle life’s demands. Stacie offers a supportive setting where practical tools and personal strengths come together to shape lasting change.

How Stacie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness and somatic ideas to address stress, anxiety, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and then practice alternative responses to reduce worry and reactivity. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories so they feel less intense and disruptive, which can help with trauma, grief, and overwhelming events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs, goals, and comfort levels, and together they will choose methods to try. This collaborative decision-making lets the plan shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also offer ways to continue trauma-focused work, mindfulness practice, and skill-building without a long commute. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, will help clients pick an approach and schedule that fits their life and needs.
