About Lacey
Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Lacey aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or an individual under pressure.
She uses clear, structured methods in sessions. Lacey often teaches skills people can try between meetings, such as thought records, grounding exercises, and simple mindfulness practices.
How Lacey works
Those tools are chosen to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes work with substance use and process addictions, bipolar disorder, and a range of mood and anxiety conditions. She also supports people facing grief, career setbacks, compassion fatigue, and changes that come with aging or medical decline.
Lacey has experience addressing hoarding, impulsivity, dissociation, and first responder concerns among other challenges. Lacey blends cognitive behavior-focused techniques with dialectical skills and trauma-focused approaches. In sessions she may use worksheets, breathing and body awareness exercises, and structured problem solving.
The goal is to help people build coping skills and steady routines that reduce crises and improve sleep. She offers sessions in English and provides care through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works with the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online healing
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day struggles. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve coping. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing painful memories and building stability after abuse or traumatic events while also teaching strategies to manage triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will adjust techniques over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep consistent care and to try different formats as needs change.
