Stacey Gooden

Stacey Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience supporting adults through seasons that feel heavy, uncertain, or difficult to carry. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with major life changes, helping clients untangle what feels confusing inside and move toward greater clarity and relief.

Her style centers on a compassionate, steady presence where clients can sort through thoughts and emotions, identify patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and build practical tools for day-to-day life. Stacey often integrates cognitive and relaxation strategies to help reduce overwhelm and strengthen coping, especially when stress and anxious thoughts begin to take over.

Stacey also draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which helps people understand and heal different "parts" of themselves with increased self-compassion, and she incorporates EMDR therapy for processing distressing experiences. She is EMDR certified, reflecting advanced training in this approach. For clients who want faith integrated into therapy, she offers Christian counseling, blending Biblical principles with therapeutic strategies in a way that aligns with the client’s values and goals.
