Katy Schoen, LPC - Therapist in West Virginia

About Katy

Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia. She brings four years of professional experience and a patient, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her approach is relaxed but purposeful, and she uses humor when appropriate to help people feel at ease.

Katy makes space for honest conversation and focuses on practical steps a person can use right away. Her work centers on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses areas like self-esteem, career concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with life changes. Katy emphasizes people’s strengths and helps them build tools to meet their goals. Training includes graduate degrees in related fields and licensure in West Virginia as an LPC.

Sessions draw from several clinical methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and emotionally focused work when relationships and connection are central. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles also appear in her practice. She does not provide Christian-based counseling, does not work with couples, and does not see clients under 18 years old.

She offers a welcoming, supportive space for members of the Jewish community who are facing cultural or safety concerns. Katy views clients as the experts on their own lives and partners with them to find workable solutions. Practical supports include short-term skill-building and longer conversation-focused work when needed.

Conversations aim to clarify choices, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen coping so people can move forward with clearer plans.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and responses to stress. This approach can be useful when relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, or attachment wounds are at the core of a problem.

Katy treats choice of method as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together as therapy moves forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits and keep continuity when life changes. The range of formats also makes it possible to use short check-ins, longer conversations, or written reflections depending on what helps most.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
