About Lacey
Lacey Gibson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, so parents can leave with something they can try right away.
She uses straightforward strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve self-esteem. She often draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and find concrete alternatives.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to clarify feelings and strengthen important connections in close relationships. Lacey also uses client-centered methods to match the work to each person's pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Narrative therapy can help reframe personal stories so past events feel less dominating. With five years of clinical experience, Lacey has supported people through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions. She helps people facing ADHD-related struggles, anger, body image issues, and complicated family dynamics.
Her background emphasizes listening closely and creating achievable plans. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The subscription-based format can be canceled at any time and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.
Lacey aims to make therapy fit a busy life.

How Lacey’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to you and moves at your pace; the therapist listens deeply and follows your lead to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps so you can try different actions and notice what changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions, then use that clarity to improve important relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lacey will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques over time. That means sessions can combine methods or shift emphasis as needs change, and the client plays an active role in choosing what to try next.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for busy parents. Video is useful for deeper, conversational work and seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking.
