About Stacy
Stacy Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 18 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.
Stacy draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anger and anxiety. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with moment-to-moment awareness and impulse control.
Her approach is direct and easy to follow. Conversations look at real situations where anger shows up - at work, at home, or inside relationships - and then build concrete strategies. Homework and simple practice exercises are common to help new skills stick between sessions.
Stacy has worked across settings with a broad age range and a variety of presenting problems. Her background includes individual and group work, and she has experience addressing blended family issues, communication problems, and impulsivity. She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, cancer-related stress, and young adult concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
If questions come up about the process or what to expect in early sessions, Stacy is available to answer them before a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions use that same attentive approach to help people clarify triggers and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; that work adapts well to structured online sessions with short exercises and between-session practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support impulse control in everyday situations.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work with each person to test approaches, adjust techniques, and choose practices that fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative planning helps set realistic early steps and clear practice tasks to try between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try exercises in the context of their normal routines. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to focus on skills that transfer directly to real situations rather than only talking about them.
