About Lacey

Lacey Gibson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California who works with adults facing a range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping clients who are navigating life changes, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family dynamics, offering practical support for anger, communication breakdowns, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Her style emphasizes collaboration and empathy, using evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping strategies and reconnect with strengths.

Lacey integrates client-centered listening with targeted techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods, plus narrative and motivational approaches when appropriate. This blend aims to address mood, identity, relationship transitions, and stressors like caregiving, fertility or fatherhood issues, and blended family challenges.

Sessions are offered through flexible online formats, and she draws on five years of clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person's needs. Lacey’s California license (LCSW) anchors her practice as she supports people working toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on providing attentive, non-judging listening so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it is useful for building self-understanding and addressing self-esteem, grief, and identity questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, supporting work on intimacy, communication, and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process, with the therapist and client reviewing needs, goals, and preferences to decide which methods to prioritize. This may mean emphasizing practical CBT skills at times, turning to client-centered reflection in other moments, or weaving in EFT for relationship-focused work so interventions match what the client wants to accomplish.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to engage with therapy while fitting sessions into busy schedules. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue work between sessions through messaging when helpful, supporting continuity and convenience in the therapeutic process.
