About Lacrisha

Lacrisha Holcomb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, low self-esteem, and career strain. She draws on eight years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy feel like a soft landing. Her tone is direct and caring, so people know they will be heard and met with practical support.

Her background includes work as a residential counselor in group homes, a family intervention specialist, a veteran care manager, an addiction counselor, and a therapist.

Background and approach

Those roles gave her hands-on experience with drug and alcohol addiction, eating issues, and family of origin concerns. She has used cognitive behavioral therapy with hundreds of people over the years. In sessions she focuses on tangible change.

She helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. She also addresses shame, isolation, and problems with communication that get in the way of daily life. Lacrisha pays attention to the impact of trauma and intergenerational wounds while inviting joy and authenticity into the work.

She supports people dealing with body image, codependency, social anxiety, and somatization through clear, practical steps and steady listening. Therapy with her is collaborative. She works alongside clients to set goals and test what helps.

People can expect straightforward guidance aimed at feeling more whole and able to move forward.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Two evidence-based techniques she commonly uses are cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-informed care. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past hurts and intergenerational wounds shape reactions and safety in relationships.

She also blends addiction-informed strategies when relevant, helping people develop concrete plans for coping and relapse prevention. These methods aim to give clear tools and steps rather than only talk, which can help with stress, body image, and communication problems.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which approaches match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Clients and therapist regularly check progress and adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Many people find the range of formats helpful for staying engaged and applying skills between sessions.
