About Lacey
She works with people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, and anxiety including phobias and agoraphobia. Lacey also assists those coping with grief, sleep problems, substance and process addictions, and the fallout from narcissistic abuse. She addresses career strain, self-esteem struggles, and anger in ways that connect to daily life.
Lacey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions around specific skills and behavior change. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods are woven in to help with grounding and emotional regulation. Worksheets and short exercises are commonly assigned to reinforce progress outside of sessions.
Her background includes work with people facing military and first responder challenges, complex trauma and PTSD, hoarding, and issues related to aging and suspected neurocognitive decline. She also supports clients dealing with impulsivity, dissociation, and co-occurring substance use. Lacey describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s strengths guide the process.
She encourages small steps toward practical goals and focuses on building resilience. The emphasis is on useful tools, steady progress, and helping people move toward more confident, purposeful lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Online work often uses the same practical methods Lacey applies in person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which often leads to concrete behavior changes and homework like worksheets. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills to reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and personal preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay useful and relevant to life demands.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Some formats also work better when bandwidth or camera use is limited, or when brief coaching-style contacts are most helpful. Licensed professionals tailor session content so tools practiced online transfer smoothly into everyday routines.
