Stacey Polson , LPC

Stacey Polson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with 28 years of experience in the mental health field. She trained at the University of Wyoming, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Counseling, and has applied that background across school and community settings.

Much of her career has been spent as a middle school counselor, and she also has extensive experience working with individuals, families, couples, and groups outside the school environment. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, relationship difficulties such as divorce and infidelity, parenting challenges, family conflict, career satisfaction, disability-related issues, self-esteem, trauma, and abuse.

Her counseling style is personable and engaging, rooted in a person-centered approach that places the client in the lead while she offers support and structure. She frequently incorporates a rational-emotive perspective to help clients recognize connections between thoughts, patterns, and behavior, and she assists clients in setting achievable goals and developing practical strategies to meet them. Stacey aims to foster a more positive outlook by helping clients reframe beliefs and build toward their potential.

Passionate about guiding people through difficult transitions, she prioritizes individualized care and works collaboratively to help clients take the important first steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stacey draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the individual to lead the pace and direction of change - it is well suited to people working through life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or grief.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), a model that explores emotional patterns and attachment needs in relationships. EFT can help couples or family members understand and shift interaction cycles, improve emotional connection, and address intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Stacey collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from diverse locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the therapeutic process.
