About Katy
Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia. She brings four years of clinical experience and a calm, compassionate approach to sessions. Katy focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief.
She aims to help clients notice strengths and build practical tools to reach their goals. Before sessions begin, Katy listens to what matters most to each person. Her style is laid back and warm, and she sometimes uses a gentle sense of humor to ease tense moments.
Background and approach
She encourages people to use their own strengths while trying new ways of coping. In practice she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused ideas when the situation calls for them.
Sessions often include skill-building, reflection, and plans that can be tried between meetings. Katy has worked with concerns tied to trauma and abuse, veterans' issues, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related problems, communication struggles, control issues, and questions about life purpose and meaning.
She does not provide Christian-based counseling, couples therapy, or services for anyone under 18. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Katy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by focusing on what matters and small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep stress and low mood in place. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience in relationships and can help with intimacy-related struggles and communication problems.Katy treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they check what helps and adjust strategies over time so the work fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and emotional processing. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing out thoughts feels more comfortable. These options help clients fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
