Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, sleep problems, addiction, mood challenges, and life transitions. Her approach aims to help clients regain direction and everyday functioning.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness and trauma-focused work. Sessions often include practical tools and worksheets that help people apply what they learn between meetings. Somatic practices and integrative mental health methods are also part of her approach to reduce anxiety and manage trauma symptoms.

Clients come to her with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar issues, relationship and family stress, ADHD, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, and eating or substance-related problems. She also has experience addressing issues linked to aging, hoarding, first responder stress, and end-of-life concerns. Lacey emphasizes working at a steady, manageable pace that fits each person’s needs.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She encourages clients to see themselves as experts in their own lives while offering structure and tools to make changes. The goal is to build resilience and clearer steps forward for everyday problems.

If you are coping with life changes or other ongoing concerns, she offers an initial path to practical skills and calmer routines. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing the site’s intake steps to learn more about working together.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills through step-by-step exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships through practical skills and structured practice. DBT methods can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That means adapting tools and homework so they fit what a client can manage between sessions.

The biography did not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people continue therapy without travel. Therapists can still use CBT worksheets, DBT skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and trauma-focused strategies in remote sessions, tailoring each step to what works best for the individual.
