About Stacie
Stacie Ridley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. Stacie also helps with depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. Stacie draws on therapies such as cognitive behavioral work, EMDR, mindfulness and somatic techniques to address symptoms and reactions. Sessions focus on practical skills, grounding exercises, and talking through patterns that keep problems alive.
Stacie often focuses on attachment-related problems like abandonment and codependency, and on issues that come from caregiving stress, family conflict, or past domestic violence. She also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, infidelity and substance use concerns.
In session she uses concrete tools to help people notice automatic thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice body-based techniques for anxiety and trauma. EMDR-informed procedures may be used for trauma processing alongside somatic strategies when appropriate.
Her long experience includes supporting people through grief, forgiveness work, and rebuilding communication after hurts. For anyone feeling stuck during early adulthood transitions or major life shifts, she helps identify steps that fit day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Stacie uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear, practiceable skills. She also uses EMDR-informed techniques to address traumatic memories, which involve guided processing that can reduce intense reactions over time. Mindfulness work in sessions focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to lower arousal and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on how someone responds. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best for current symptoms and daily life demands.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or commuting because sessions don't require travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations if camera use is difficult, or scheduling that matches class and job hours. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular sessions while juggling early-adulthood responsibilities.
