Katy Schoen

Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia. She draws on four years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Katy aims to meet clients where they are and build practical skills for daily life.

Her approach is calm and compassionate. She uses a relaxed style and an appropriate sense of humor to make conversations feel less heavy. Katy focuses on identifying individual strengths and turning those strengths into tools people can use outside sessions.

Katy helps with trauma and abuse concerns and supports people affected by military-related challenges. She also works with career questions, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, and mood difficulties.

She provides a supportive space for Jewish clients and recognizes cultural factors and rising anti-Semitism that may affect mental health. Katy does not provide Christian-based counseling, run couples therapy, or work with anyone under 18 years old.

To begin, Katy encourages clients to talk about current struggles and goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clearer choices, and building confidence to handle difficult moments. She helps people figure out what works for them and how to make steady progress.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can help with intimacy issues and fears of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use methods like mindfulness exercises and cognitive tools between meetings to support steady progress.
