Stacie Ridley, LPC

Stacie Ridley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape daily life. She brings 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. She frames clients as the experts of their own story and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.

Stacie listens for the patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems repeating. She uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and to build healthier routines. Many people seek her help for relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and major life transitions.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, somatic methods, trauma-focused care, and EMDR. In sessions she guides people through skills practice, grounding exercises, and reflective work that connects thoughts and body responses. The aim is to reduce distress and support clearer choices in everyday moments.

Clients report working on issues like codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, dissociation, substance use, and forgiveness. She also addresses feelings tied to abandonment, guilt, emptiness, impulsivity, and infidelity. Stacie helps people set concrete goals and practice steps between sessions.

Stacie emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She encourages small habit changes that make daily life more manageable. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching and scheduling steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT typically involves setting clear goals, practicing different ways of thinking, and trying new behaviors between sessions to see what works.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for people struggling with traumatic memories. EMDR guides attention while processing upsetting memories to reduce the emotional charge those memories carry.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to sort out which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or evening sessions more practical and reduce the time needed for a visit. Ask about the exact session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit daily routines.
