Her education includes a B.A. in Psychology from West Virginia University, an M.S. in Developmental Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University, and an M.S. in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from West Virginia University. Katy supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges impacting Veterans, as well as concerns related to motivation, self esteem, and confidence. She focuses on helping clients build practical tools they can use to work toward meaningful goals while honoring the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and strengths.
Katy offers a supportive space for members of the Jewish population and is mindful of the impact of rising anti-semitism and cultural stressors. She does not provide Christian-based counseling, does not work with couples, and does not see clients under the age of 18.
Her counseling style is laid back, compassionate, and at times appropriately humorous. Sessions often center on identifying personal strengths, making sense of what a client is experiencing, and working through difficult circumstances so decisions feel more grounded and aligned with what matters most in the present season of life.
Evidence-informed approaches, made accessible online
Katy Schoen integrates practical, evidence-informed methods that help clients understand what they are going through and build tools for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and can be helpful when stress, anxiety, or low mood are getting in the way of daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most, which can support clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by painful experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection, and it can be useful for relationship concerns, trust issues, and fears of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katy works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and methods to fit the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format feels more comfortable or fits a busy schedule. This can make it easier to stay engaged and consistent, even during demanding seasons of life.
