Lacey Farrow, LPC

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and addiction. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on real steps clients can try between sessions.

Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices to build emotion regulation and moment-to-moment awareness. Trauma-focused methods and somatic tools are used when trauma and complex stress are part of the story.

Clients who come to her bring a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, PTSD and complex trauma, substance use and process addictions, hoarding, burnout, and challenges tied to aging or neurocognitive concerns. She also supports people facing life transitions, first responder stress, and relationship or commitment worries. Lacey aims to meet each person where they are and work at a pace that feels manageable.

In sessions she uses worksheets and practical exercises to reinforce learning between visits. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort, helping people build coping skills and small routines that add up over time. Her approach emphasizes strengths and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Lacey conducts work in English and practices in Virginia.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Lacey commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based tools in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing habits that help manage stress and improve sleep.

She treats approach choice as a team decision. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they adjust techniques and pacing so the approach fits the client’s day-to-day needs rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people use brief check-ins when a full visit is hard to schedule. Many clients find worksheets and home practice translate well to remote work, and mindfulness exercises can be practiced between sessions to build steady progress.
