About Lucetry

Dr. Lucetry Dalton-Trusty is a Michigan psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and everyday struggles like parenting, work stress, and attention differences. She brings ten years of clinical experience and uses several evidence-informed methods to support people as they cope with life changes and rebuild routines and thoughts that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her sessions are described as interactive and collaborative, with room for humor when appropriate. She asks clients to try brief therapeutic homework between meetings to encourage reflection and new patterns of thinking. Treatment is tailored to each person’s personality, interests, and goals rather than one fixed plan.

Dr. Dalton-Trusty trained and worked in multiple states during her education and career and now practices in Michigan. She lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy among the approaches she draws on. Her style emphasizes thinking differently about problems and building habits that fit everyday life, including attention to Thoughts and everyday habits.

She notes that people present with similar problems but receive individualized care. Sessions aim to help clients identify options, practice new skills, and make decisions with support, not to remove feelings or take over choices. Practical steps and ongoing collaboration are central to the work.

Dr. Dalton-Trusty holds the credential MI Psychologist 6301018016 and has worked with a wide range of ages and backgrounds throughout her career.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can help with stress, anxiety, and building new daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and routines. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing everyday patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving emotional connection and communication when relational or intimacy issues cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to attend appointments around work, school, or caregiving, and it can support steady practice of therapeutic homework between sessions. It also allows checking in during difficult weeks without the commute, and makes it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing life changes.
