About Katy
Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and related issues. Sessions are conversational and practical, geared toward helping people use their existing strengths to manage problems.
Katy trained in psychology and clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling. She draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work, to help clients notice patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions often include clear tools you can use between appointments.
Her style is relaxed and direct, with an openness to using appropriate humor when it helps. She centers the client’s perspective and treats people as the experts on their own lives while offering guidance on next steps. She does not provide Christian-based counseling, work with couples, or see anyone under 18.
Katy also attends to issues that affect Veterans and the Jewish community, noting cultural and contextual factors that can matter in therapy. She helps people who feel isolated, stuck, or overwhelmed to identify practical steps toward their goals. Work may focus on relationships, emotion management, or coping with life changes.
Clients should expect straightforward conversations about what is happening now and plans to try between sessions. The therapist encourages people to notice small shifts and to build on those changes over time.
How Katy uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and feeling secure. It can help with trust, intimacy-related concerns, and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates with clients to try methods and adjust them if something is not a good fit.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online counseling can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into work or family routines. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions without video when that is preferable.
