Lacey Farrow, LPC

Lacey Farrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, and relationship concerns. Lacey writes short worksheets and uses straightforward exercises so clients can try tools between sessions.

She combines cognitive behavioral methods with mindfulness and somatic techniques to help calm the body and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions often include skill practice and written exercises to reinforce what was discussed. Lacey also draws on principles from rational emotive behavioral work to challenge rigid beliefs that block progress.

Lacey has worked with people facing complex trauma, PTSD, burnout, military and veteran challenges, mood disorders, and substance use issues. She also supports those managing life transitions, grief, aging-related cognitive concerns, and impulsivity-related problems. Her background includes work with hoarding, eating concerns, and first responder stress.

In session she aims to build simple, doable steps toward stability and more confidence. She helps clients spot patterns, learn coping tools, and put those skills into daily life. The therapist views clients as experts in their own story and focuses on practical, steady progress.

For new clients the first step is a brief intake and a plan that fits current needs and goals. People interested in starting are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approach and online therapy options

Lacey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and reduce stress. CBT focuses on practical exercises and worksheets that target thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation, useful for trauma, burnout, and ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different tools, and adjust strategies based on what fits their needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed, avoid heavy commuting, and schedule appointments that work around work or caregiving responsibilities.
