About Lacey
Lacey Payne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. She brings four years of clinical experience and a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Lacey emphasizes clients' strengths and works with them to set clear, achievable goals.
She sees relationship and family concerns as part of a person’s life story and offers support for parenting strain, anger, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Lacey also addresses trauma and abuse and helps people navigate recovery from addictions. Her approach centers on listening first, then collaborating on concrete steps that fit each person’s routine. In sessions she focuses on small, manageable changes rather than big leaps.
She helps people build daily habits, plan for stressful moments, and practice new communication skills. For someone juggling school, work, or parenting, this means tools that can be used between meetings. Lacey wants clients to feel capable of using what they learn outside of therapy.
She encourages trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan when needed. That practical feedback loop guides how goals are set and measured. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she recognizes that courage.
Lacey aims to make the first steps clear and simple, helping people move from feeling stuck to having realistic next steps they can try right away.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practice. One common method teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to handle overwhelming moments. These strategies are useful for day-to-day symptom management and for people juggling busy schedules.Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and difficult experiences through a paced, supportive conversation. This method helps people make sense of upsetting events and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. For ADHD-related challenges, therapists often work on organization, time management, and building routines that fit each person’s life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try a few methods to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on your needs and what helps you make progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when you meet. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be good for quick check-ins or short coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or parenting demands.
