About Lacey

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep trouble, addiction, and mood concerns. Her style is practical and direct, with an emphasis on building skills that make daily life easier.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness tools in sessions. Worksheets and hands-on practice are part of the work so clients can use what they learn between meetings. Lacey also integrates mind-body techniques to help with anxiety, trauma reactions, and high activity levels.

Lacey has worked with many concerns over her career, including mood disorders, substance and process addictions, insomnia, PTSD and complex trauma, burnout, hoarding, and challenges linked to aging or neurocognitive change. She supports people navigating major life transitions and those coping with the long-term effects of trauma.

The approach is collaborative and strength-based. Lacey invites people to use their own experience and values when setting goals. Sessions focus on practical steps, symptom reduction, and rebuilding confidence for everyday challenges.

She encourages small, steady progress and teaches skills that can be used right away. People who want clear tools, structured practice, and a calm clinical presence may find her approach helpful.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practice and graded tasks. It often uses worksheets and short between-session exercises to build skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with stress, trauma symptoms, and sleep by training awareness and breathing skills.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. One practical benefit of online sessions is easier scheduling around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. Online work also makes it possible to use digital worksheets and exercises during or after sessions, and shorter check-ins can fit into a busy day. Ask about formats when you sign up to see what will work best for your routine.
