About Lacey

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical therapies that help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, sleep problems, depression, addictions, and other life challenges. Her style is straightforward and skills-based so parents and caregivers can use tools between sessions.

Lacey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.

Background and approach

Sessions may include worksheets and concrete exercises to practice at home. Her background includes additional training in integrative mental health approaches and somatic techniques that support people dealing with anxiety, complex trauma, and high activity levels. She has worked across a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, sleep issues, substance and process addictions, and coping with life transitions.

Lacey pays attention to practical outcomes like better sleep, fewer panic reactions, clearer daily routines, and improved self-management. She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on small, steady changes. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Parents who are worried about a child’s mood, attention, behavioral changes, or adjusting after a big life event may find the step-by-step tools helpful. Her work also covers issues related to aging, grief, and end-of-life concerns when these come up in family situations.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. It uses simple exercises and worksheets to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some addictive behaviors.

DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It mixes practical skills training with mindfulness practices to help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try interventions that fit your needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps you make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and caregivers. You can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what feels most manageable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into schedules, practice skills between sessions, and keep regular contact without long commutes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
