About Lacey

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, thought-focused work that helps people shift unhelpful thinking and everyday habits. She aims to help those feeling stuck regain confidence and move toward clearer goals.

Her approach often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related techniques to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also integrates mindfulness practices and somatic tools to help with anxiety, trauma, and high activity or restlessness. Sessions may include worksheets and exercises to practice between meetings.

Lacey has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including substance and process addictions, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, hoarding, grief, burnout, and issues tied to aging or cognitive changes. She notes experience with first responder and military-related challenges as well as complex presentations that combine several concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear steps and measurable skills. She helps clients notice thought patterns, test them, and build routines that support better sleep, concentration, and mood. The work tends to be collaborative and goal-minded, with strategies tailored to each person’s day-to-day life.

Her practice emphasizes practical tools for coping with life changes and strengthening resilience. People who want concrete strategies for changing thoughts and habits may find her style especially useful.

How thought-focused approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Lacey’s methods center on noticing and changing everyday thoughts and habits, which can work well in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them against evidence, and build new routines to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and improve focus, useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals, daily demands, and preferences. That might mean trying a few tools early on and keeping the ones that fit best. The process is practical and adjusted over time based on what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients use written worksheets or screen-sharing during sessions to practice thought records and other exercises in real time.
