About Stacey
Stacey Polson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with 28 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked extensively as a middle school counselor and in settings outside of schools providing individual and group counseling. Stacey helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and challenges like life changes and career dissatisfaction.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. In sessions she keeps things straightforward and practical. She helps clients break problems into steps, set realistic goals, and find small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Stacey’s background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Wyoming. Those years in school settings gave her a lot of experience with communication issues, family conflict, and the stresses that come with parenting and life transitions.
Her style is personable and goal-oriented. Clients are invited to lead the work while she offers support, questions, and approaches that clarify patterns tied to thoughts and behaviors. She sometimes uses rational-emotive ideas to highlight how thinking patterns affect actions and mood.
Stacey also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, body image, codependency, divorce and separation, intimacy struggles, postpartum depression, and midlife changes. She conducts sessions in English and works with adults seeking practical ways to cope and change.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape relationship patterns. It can help people clarify attachment-related feelings and name emotions that have been hard to express or understand. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client as the leader in sessions, with the therapist offering reflection, acceptance, and support to help people find their own solutions. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, often using brief, goal-oriented conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss what feels most useful based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt methods collaboratively as sessions progress. The choice of techniques is shaped by what the client wants to change and what feels workable day to day.
Session-format details should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to try online sessions, consider the practical benefits: it can be easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins can be arranged when time is limited, and audio-only options reduce bandwidth needs when video is difficult. Check the available session options before scheduling so you know which formats are offered and can pick what best fits your routine.
