Lacey Farrow

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, hands-on strategies that help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and problems with sleep. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented so clients leave sessions with clear next steps.

She often uses worksheets and skill practice to reinforce what is discussed in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her regular work, and she also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness tools to address emotion regulation and stress. Trauma-focused methods and somatic techniques are used when trauma or hyperarousal are present.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, addictive behaviors, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. She also has experience with issues related to aging, neurocognitive decline, hoarding, and first responder challenges. Narcissistic abuse recovery is listed among her experience areas for people seeking help after difficult relationships.

Sessions are structured to blend skills practice with empathic listening. Clients can expect clear coping strategies, help organizing thoughts about life changes, and support building daily routines that improve sleep and mood. She emphasizes small, achievable steps toward goals.

Lacey highlights the client’s strengths throughout the process and treats each person as the expert on their own life. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The initial steps focus on matching goals and practical planning.

How her approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. In online sessions this looks like reviewing daily thought logs, completing worksheets together, and setting small practice tasks for the week. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through step-by-step coaching and skills rehearsal during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or trauma-focused methods fit best based on goals and what feels helpful. That decision can change as progress is made and needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing appointments during work breaks, and permitting shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports regular skill practice between sessions so learning from CBT and DBT carries into everyday routines.
