About Lacey

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, sleep problems, and addiction. Her approach centers on practical skills and clear steps people can use between sessions.

Farrow blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. She uses worksheets and hands-on exercises so clients can practice new skills outside sessions. Sessions can include somatic strategies aimed at easing anxiety and managing strong reactions.

She has worked with people facing major life transitions, burnout, and complex trauma. Her experience includes supporting those dealing with aging concerns and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also has experience with first responder issues, hoarding, and neurocognitive decline concerns such as suspected dementia.

Lacey emphasizes a collaborative style. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Conversations are geared toward concrete tools for coping, improving sleep, and managing mood swings.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward guidance, repeated practice of skills, and attention to how mental health interacts with daily routines. She encourages small, steady steps toward clearer goals and more stable functioning.

How Lacey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments and worksheets. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. This approach can help people cope with stress, grief, and ongoing worry by building more steady attention to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean starting with CBT worksheets, adding mindfulness exercises, or using trauma-focused techniques when past harm needs direct attention.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. Some people find phone or video sessions helpful for practicing breathing and grounding exercises in real time, while others prefer time that fits a lunch break or a quieter moment at home. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and homework so therapy can fit into everyday life rather than disrupt it.
