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 tied to self-esteem and motivation. She also addresses challenges affecting veterans and people coping with life changes and grief.
Her style is relaxed and direct. She uses humor appropriately and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical skills rather than labels. Katy aims to help clients understand what they are facing and to make decisions that fit their current circumstances.
In the room, Katy blends several evidence-informed approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based work helps when relationship and abandonment concerns are central. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to clarify values and take committed steps toward meaningful goals.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded on each person's experience, and emotionally-focused ideas when intimacy and connection are primary concerns. These methods are used to teach coping strategies, improve communication, and reduce reactive patterns such as anger or isolation.
Katy does not offer Christian-based counseling, couples therapy, or services for anyone under 18. She provides a practice-informed setting for Jewish clients who wish to discuss cultural and community impact. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Katy uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with low motivation, anxiety about the future, and feeling stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating show up in current relationships. It can help people dealing with abandonment, trust issues, or recurring relationship conflicts.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching practical skills to change reaction patterns.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Katy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques over time based on what helps. The first sessions are used to clarify goals and test approaches so adjustments can be made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling around a job or school commitments simpler, and some people find it easier to keep therapy consistent when it fits into everyday routines.
