About Autumn
Dr. Autumn Lacy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Wisconsin with three years of counted experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and related concerns. She also supports people facing depression, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career or life changes.
She focuses on understanding what each person wants to change and then building practical skills to meet those goals. Sessions emphasize clear, direct feedback alongside skill practice. The therapist views progress as a step-by-step process that depends on collaboration between client and counselor.
Dr. Lacy brings previous long-term work in human services to her current LPC practice. That background included supporting people living with persistent mental health problems, personality challenges, substance use, and strong anxiety or grief reactions. She has worked with people reporting self-harming behaviors and intense emotional distress.
In sessions she will listen for specific patterns that cause anger, resentment, or repeated outbursts. From there she helps people learn concrete tools to change those patterns and respond differently in tense moments. The emphasis is on skill building rather than labels.
Expect straightforward conversations about goals, coping strategies, and small behavioral steps. Clients set the priorities and the therapist offers techniques, honest feedback, and regular check-ins on progress. This approach is aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and reducing the frequency of overwhelming moments.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are skills-focused cognitive strategies and behavioral skills training. Cognitive strategies help people notice thoughts that fuel anger and learn clearer responses. Behavioral skills training breaks reactions into concrete steps and rehearses new responses to change how situations unfold.She also uses focused grief and coping techniques when loss or major life change is involved. Those techniques help people manage strong emotions, re-establish routines, and handle triggers that can increase frustration or resentment.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or a busy schedule. They let people join from wherever they are, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some, a remote session is useful when quiet surroundings are easier to manage or when a brief session fits better between commitments.
