About Lacey

Lacey Payne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, evidence-informed support for people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings four years of professional experience and works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own life, building on clients' existing strengths to address what feels most challenging.

Recognizing that starting therapy often takes courage, she aims to create a collaborative and respectful space where goals are clarified and steps forward are concrete and achievable. Lacey is licensed in Kentucky and holds credentials to practice in Indiana as well; her work emphasizes listening carefully, validating experience, and partnering with clients to identify practical tools for change.

She communicates in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care



Lacey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and stress management techniques to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; this involves identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and developing routines that support emotional regulation. Another approach centers on processing and managing the effects of trauma and abuse through paced, supportive work that helps clients make sense of difficult experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to understand their goals, needs, and preferences, and then tailors interventions and pacing accordingly so the work feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and maintain continuity when schedules change. These formats offer flexibility for people who prefer remote care and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support across different communication styles.
