About Stacy
Stacy Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and family or parenting concerns. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, relationship problems, ADHD, and life transitions. Stacy works from West Virginia and brings 18 years of experience to her practice.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. Together they set small, doable steps to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Stacy uses clear tools to manage strong feelings and improve everyday functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a frequent part of her work. That approach looks at thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood and tests new ways of responding.
She also uses client-centered techniques to make sessions focused on each person's priorities and pace. Mindfulness methods are offered to help with stress, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. Those practices teach simple attention skills that can reduce reactivity and help someone pause before acting.
Sessions are built to fit the person's goals, whether managing anger better or finding steadier mood day to day. Stacy enjoys answering questions about her education and approach. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session when ready.
The goal is practical change and clearer day-to-day coping.

How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about priorities, and adapts pace so the client feels heard and in charge. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to shift those patterns. It’s useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and managing impulsivity by practicing new skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing exercises to help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of urges before acting, which can be helpful for stress and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit those goals and preferences. If one method does not help enough, they will adjust plans and try alternatives together so the work stays practical and goal-directed.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and structure exercises together. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make shorter, flexible check-ins possible and can support skill practice between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
