About Stacey

Stacey Polson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with 28 years of experience. She began her work as a middle school counselor and has since supported people in schools and community settings. Stacey draws on a background in developmental psychology and counseling to help people facing everyday struggles.

Her approach is warm and personable. She centers conversations on the person's goals, listening first and following the client's lead. Stacey breaks problems into manageable steps and helps set clear, realistic goals for change.

Stacey uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's perspective and strengths. She also integrates emotionally-focused ideas to help people name and work with their feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used to build practical strategies and quick wins.

She works with many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family conflict, and career or life transitions. Additional areas of focus include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and postpartum challenges.

Sessions aim to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. Stacey emphasizes small, doable steps so progress feels achievable. She encourages clients to test changes between sessions and bring results back for discussion.

How her approaches translate to online work

Stacey uses client-centered therapy to keep the person's perspective central, helping clients feel heard and understood while they name goals and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong feelings that affect relationships and intimacy. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that build momentum and reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacey will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends elements from different approaches to match what the client finds most useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It may also allow shorter check-ins, flexibility around work breaks, or fewer travel demands. Ask about specific session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what suits your routine and technical comfort level.
