Online session options
How approach and online care work together
Many of Lacey's sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and choose different ways to describe their experiences. This can help when patterns of thinking keep someone stuck. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on listening closely, reflecting what matters, and building a trusting conversation that follows the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice patterns of thought and behavior and to test small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Lacey treats finding the best fit as a team effort. She will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits how the person wants to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and caregiving routines while using approaches that match each person's needs.
