Stacie Ridley

Stacie Ridley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing anger and related struggles. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building strengths to manage hard moments. Stacie speaks plainly and makes space for people to take small steps toward change.

Stacie brings 25 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. She helps people cope with mood challenges like depression and bipolar concerns, and with life changes that feel overwhelming. Anger, low self-esteem, and impulsivity are also among the issues she supports people through.

Her work draws on several commonly used therapies. Stacie applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses Mindfulness and Somatic tools to help people notice body signals and stay present during distress. Trauma-focused approaches and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing are part of her toolbox when past events continue to cause pain.

Stacie aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She listens for strengths and then helps people try practical skills, set doable goals, and track small gains over time. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging, helping people feel able to try new ways of coping.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anger or anxiety. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of reacting. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is another method she includes when past events keep causing strong reactions; it helps reduce the intensity of those memories so they feel less disruptive.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest approaches to try. Plans are revisited over time so the work stays aligned with what the person needs and wants.

Because the original biography does not state specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time for appointments. It can also allow use of worksheets, in-session grounding practices, and between-session homework that support CBT, EMDR preparation, and mindfulness or somatic work.
