About Lacey
Lacey Haggan-Galloway is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has practiced for about 10 years. She holds LMFT credentials in Idaho and Utah and focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, parent-child conflict, and trauma. She also supports clients facing anxiety, depression, and identity concerns.
Her approach begins with listening. She works from the belief that each person knows their story and brings strengths to therapy. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical steps you can try between meetings.
How Lacey works
Lacey lets the client's priorities guide the pace and focus of work. She draws on several therapy methods to match what a person needs. That can include looking at attachment and relationship patterns, using CBT skills for changing unhelpful thoughts, or DBT strategies for managing strong emotions.
The goal is clear: make decisions and try tools that help life feel more manageable. Lacey also addresses parenting stress, blended family concerns, and issues that come from family of origin. She works with people struggling with grief, career uncertainty, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include abandonment, forgiveness, and multicultural concerns. Sessions balance emotional exploration with practical coping techniques. People who prefer a calm listener who also offers concrete tools often find this style helpful.
The first appointment typically includes setting goals and deciding which approaches to try.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps people understand why they connect the way they do and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting over time if something isn’t working. You and the therapist plan what to focus on and pick tools together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you work in real time with visual cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when typed communication feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend around work, childcare, or travel.
