About Lacey

Lacey Payne is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-based care for everyday struggles. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Lacey also helps with relationship strains, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, anger, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

She approaches therapy with a clear belief: the client is the expert on their own life. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and to build skills that fit real life.

Background and approach

Lacey aims for simple, usable tools rather than jargon or long, complicated plans. In session she listens for strengths and past successes the person can use again. Then she helps set small, realistic steps so progress feels doable.

This makes therapy easier to fit into a busy week and keeps work focused on what matters most to the client. Lacey holds a Masters-level social work license, LCSW, and maintains Kentucky and Indiana licensure. Her practice style is down-to-earth and goal-focused, with attention to emotional safety and steady pacing.

She knows starting therapy can feel hard. Lacey uses a collaborative pace so people feel respected and understood while they try new ways of coping and relating to others.

Online support

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and real-world changes. One common approach emphasizes identifying patterns that cause distress and practicing new behaviors to change those patterns. This helps with anxiety, depression, and repeated relationship problems. Another approach centers on processing reactions to trauma and abuse through paced, supportive conversations that help reduce the emotional charge around difficult memories and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's goals, try a method, and adjust based on what works best. That shared decision making helps shape a plan that fits personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and useful when a video connection is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coping between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, school, or family life and give more ways to stay connected with a licensed professional.
