Stacey Polson, LPC

Stacey Polson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 28 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, depression, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Stacey helps people break down problems and set manageable goals to move forward.

Stacey previously worked as a middle school counselor and has broad experience counseling individuals, couples, groups, and people outside of schools. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Wyoming. Her long time work in schools shaped her practical approach to everyday challenges.

Her style is personable and direct. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the client guides the work while she supports and listens. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at relationship patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals.

In sessions Stacey helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test more helpful ways of thinking and acting. She often uses a rational-emotive style to connect thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on specific steps people can try between meetings.

People come to her for a wide range of life stresses including parenting strain, relationship conflict such as divorce or commitment issues, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, postpartum concerns, and midlife transitions. She works in English and practices in Wyoming.
