About Stacy
Stacy Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make everyday life feel more manageable. Stacy uses straightforward talk and collaborative planning.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying small changes, and building skills that fit a person's daily routine. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness practices to help people stay present during hard moments.
Background and approach
She has 18 years of counseling experience in a range of settings. That background gives her experience with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and social anxiety, plus issues tied to pregnancy, childbirth, cancer, and blending families. Stacy also supports people coping with career changes, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Therapy sessions can include skill practice, thought records, breathing and grounding exercises, and planning for real-life situations. Parents can expect help with communication, managing impulsivity, and juggling family roles. Young adults and women often find the practical focus useful for busy schedules.
Stacy invites questions about how she works and encourages a first conversation to see if the approach fits. She uses a mix of short-term skill building and longer work on deeper patterns, adapting to each person's pace and goals.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supports them as they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thought and behavior with practical exercises and homework to change what isn't working. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. That collaboration lets the plan change over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to get brief support between sessions or to use writing as part of the therapy process. These options help therapy fit around work, family, and travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
