About Lacey

Lacey Payne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Indiana with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works in English and practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Lacey views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens for practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She aims to help people identify patterns that cause distress and try small changes that can feel manageable.

Her work often centers on talking through current problems and developing concrete coping skills. She helps people prioritize what matters most and breaks goals into doable steps. For parenting and family concerns she focuses on individual needs and strategies rather than running family or couples sessions.

When trauma or abuse is part of the picture she moves at a pace set by the client and emphasizes safety in decision making. For concerns like addiction and grief she combines symptom-focused strategies with attention to life changes and next steps.

To begin, Lacey asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so she can learn about their priorities before the first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. Confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

Evidence-based methods and online sessions

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable change. One common approach she draws on teaches coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breath work, planning, and behavioral activation to increase helpful routines and reduce avoidance. Another approach addresses trauma and abuse through a careful, paced review of past events while building strategies to manage intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to match approaches to their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and adjusts methods if something is not helping. The process starts with a short questionnaire and a first session to clarify priorities and plan next steps.

Practical benefits of therapy delivered remotely include fitting sessions into a regular schedule and reducing travel time so appointments can more easily happen around work or caregiving. Because the therapist's listed session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to provide regular check-ins, skill practice, and problem-focused work that supports everyday life.
