About Lacey
Lacey Payne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Indiana with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, and ADHD.
She approaches sessions with clear, practical conversation. Lacey listens for strengths in a person’s life and builds from what already works. She helps people talk through difficult moments, name patterns, and try manageable changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Her work often focuses on problems that show up in routines and close relationships. That includes helping people manage stress, set boundaries, handle anger, and cope after losses. She also supports people dealing with the fallout from trauma and abuse and those navigating addiction recovery steps.
Lacey keeps tasks concrete and short-term when that fits the need. She helps clients break down big problems into smaller steps and practices skills between sessions. That can include communication strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and planning for life changes.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward style that centers real-life demands like work, family, and parenting. She asks practical questions about what is happening now and offers options to try. To start, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on present-day problems. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; these are useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Skills-based methods focus on short exercises and step-by-step plans to change routines and manage emotions, which can help with anger, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily demands, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Together they adjust methods and homework based on what fits the client’s life and what feels helpful.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work and family, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to continue care without travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are framed to fit everyday life and responsibilities rather than adding extra burden.
