About Stacie
Stacie Ridley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who blends body-focused work with practical talk therapy. She draws on somatic approaches to help people notice how stress and trauma live in the body, while also using tools that change thoughts and daily habits. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on small steps that make life feel more manageable.
Stacie brings 25 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma to her practice. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship struggles, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is collaborative. She sees clients as the experts on their lives and helps them build on existing strengths.
Sessions can include breathing and movement awareness, thought-focused exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused techniques when needed. Stacie pays attention to patterns that often underlie distress, such as attachment wounds, codependency, impulsivity, or feelings of emptiness and shame. She helps people develop clearer boundaries, better communication habits, and practical coping skills for daily life.
In working together, clients can expect straightforward guidance and steady support. Stacie aims to help people make doable changes, whether that means reducing painful symptoms, improving relationships, or finding new ways to manage life transitions.
Online care using somatic and evidence-based approaches
Stacie uses somatic therapy to help people notice how tension, breath, and body sensations relate to stress or trauma. This approach invites simple body awareness and gentle movement to help lessen distress and improve regulation.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day struggles. When trauma is central, elements of EMDR and trauma-focused therapy may be integrated to address distressing memories and their emotional impact.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is helpful.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, follow up between meetings, and access consistent support without travel.
