Lacey Farrow, LPC

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia who uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood challenges. She draws on 15 years of experience supporting adults through sleep problems, addictions, grief, and work or life transitions. Lacey writes worksheets and offers tools clients can use between sessions.

Her work centers on clear, concrete strategies that people can try right away. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness and somatic practices are added when calming the body and attention helps with anxiety or trauma symptoms.

Lacey has worked with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, depression, anger, ADHD, and coping with aging or cognitive changes. She also addresses issues such as hoarding, substance and process addictions, compassion fatigue, and vocational or career stress. Her background includes integrative mental health medicine approaches that complement talk therapy.

Sessions emphasize short-term skill building alongside longer-term personal goals. Clients can expect worksheets, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices tailored to daily life. Lacey aims to help people reclaim a sense of control and build routines that support sleep, mood, and relationships.

She speaks English and offers services through a mix of online formats. People start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability. Lacey frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and gentle awareness of body sensations and thoughts to reduce reactivity and improve focus. That approach pairs well with CBT or DBT when people need this calming or grounding support for anxiety or trauma symptoms.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works for the person. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match needs and preferences as they progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to use these methods. Video calls let the therapist demonstrate worksheets and guide exercises in real time. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support practice, quick coaching, or daily check-ins between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to use CBT tools, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices around a busy life.
