About Lacey

Lacey Gibson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She is based in California and works with adults who are managing life changes, relationship strain, and the everyday pressures that wear on mood and confidence.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer thinking so people can feel steadier day to day. Lacey aims to make therapy feel like a partnership where goals are set together and progress is measured in small, concrete steps.

She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns with cognitive behavioral techniques, strengthening emotional responses in emotionally-focused work, or supporting a person’s own values and choices through client-centered listening.

With five years of clinical experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she brings grounded, real-world strategies to emotional struggles. Her background includes work with people dealing with grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and family dynamics.

Lacey pays attention to what matters most to each person. Therapy sessions often include skill building for coping, clearer communication practice, and ways to rebuild a sense of worth and agency. She encourages small experiments outside sessions so progress translates into everyday life.

How Lacey’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and space to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve connection and emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady follow-up across life changes. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, adapting exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings.
