Stacey Polson, LPC

Stacey Polson, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming with 28 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, grief, and coping with life changes. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.

Stacey trained at the University of Wyoming, earning a Bachelor’s in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling. Much of her early career was as a middle school counselor, and she also has extensive experience working with individuals, couples, groups, and families outside schools. Her background includes supporting people through divorce, infidelity, trauma, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and life transitions.

Her counseling style is personable and straightforward. She describes the client as the leader and herself as the supporter. Sessions break down problems into manageable parts, set clear goals, and work toward small, practical steps.

She often uses a rational-emotive perspective to help clients notice how thoughts affect behavior. That approach is paired with client-centered and solution-focused work to reframe beliefs and find concrete strategies. This combination is aimed at improving mood, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.

Stacey emphasizes practical change. She helps people build skills for daily life, cope with midlife and aging concerns, address body image and postpartum struggles, and manage grief or chronic pain. She encourages starting with one small step and working collaboratively toward goals.
