About Lacey

Lacey Haggan-Galloway is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in Idaho and Utah. She has about 10 years of clinical experience and focuses on parenting and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and identity worries. She approaches work with people in a direct and respectful way that centers their lived experience.

Lacey reminds clients that they know their story best and brings practical support to help them move forward.

Background and approach

Her sessions are rooted in attachment-based work and client-centered principles. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and listens closely to what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions when needed.

Lacey often addresses issues like parenting tensions, grief, stress, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns tied to abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, and family of origin patterns. She names guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose as topics she commonly explores.

She offers a calm, accepting style that aims to make sessions feel understandable and useful. Conversations move at the client’s pace, with concrete tools and reflections offered along the way. Parents and individuals seeking clear, practical support for relationship or parenting questions often find this approach helpful.

Lacey holds the LMFT credential and maintains professional licensure in both Idaho and Utah. She communicates in English and is open to working with clients across regions, tailoring approaches to the person in front of her.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand connection patterns and improve safety and trust in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve bonding and reduce distress in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client's needs rather than following a fixed template.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow people to connect from different places and fit sessions around busy schedules. The focus remains on clear communication, skills practice, and regular check-ins so progress can continue even when meeting remotely.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
