About Stacey
Stacey Polson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with 28 years of experience in counseling. She began her career working largely as a middle school counselor and has extensive experience helping adults in individual, couples, and group settings. Stacey uses a warm, personable style that helps people feel understood and supported from the first session.
She leans on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client at the center of the work and treats the therapist as a guide. Stacey helps people break down problems into manageable steps and set realistic goals. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns and uses Solution-Focused techniques to spot small changes that lead to better days.
Stacey’s background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling, both from the University of Wyoming. Over nearly three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting questions, relationship strain, life transitions, and caregiving stress.
Her sessions typically focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building practical coping skills, and improving communication in important relationships. Stacey aims to help clients reframe limiting beliefs and take steps toward life goals in ways that feel doable.
People who prefer a collaborative, encouraging approach often connect well with her style. Her work emphasizes steady, practical progress and tailoring strategies to each person’s life circumstances.
How Stacey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and offering empathic support. It helps people explore their feelings, set their own goals, and build momentum at a comfortable pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they respond to emotional triggers; this can be useful for intimacy and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and practical solutions that can create change quickly for specific problems like stress or career decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stacey works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and useful rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
The main practical benefit of connecting online is that sessions can better fit everyday life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities and can reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to focus on communication skills, thought restructuring, and step-by-step problem solving in ways that fit into a busy routine.
