Lacey Farrow, LPC

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, depression, addiction, trauma, sleep problems, and big life transitions. Her style is practical and strengths-based, aimed at small steps that build confidence over time.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are included to help manage intense emotions and increase present-moment awareness. Worksheets and structured exercises are commonly used between sessions to reinforce progress.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, substance and process addictions, PTSD and complex trauma, insomnia, hoarding, and challenges linked to aging and neurocognitive decline. She also has experience with first responder and military-related concerns, burnout, and issues involving impulsivity or dissociation.

Lacey incorporates somatic methods and integrative mental health ideas when they fit a client's needs. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools rather than long lectures, and treats clients as the experts on their own lives.

People who come to her can expect clear, goal-oriented plans and homework that fits into everyday life. If you want someone to help you break problems into manageable steps, she focuses on building resilience and practical coping skills.

Online approaches that focus on skills and coping

Many of Lacey's methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday behaviors through short exercises and goal setting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and addiction-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills into sessions to support strong feelings, impulsivity, and relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will work with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
