  • Grief support

About Lacey

Lacey Buxton is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Her work also covers concerns such as anger, self-esteem, parenting strains, career stress, and attention-related difficulties.

She starts by treating the person in front of her as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. Conversations point to strengths already present and ways to build on them. Lacey aims to make beginning therapy feel doable and straightforward.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. From there she helps people try small changes in thinking and behavior. For anger or workplace frustration this might mean spotting triggers and rehearsing new responses. For grief and trauma the focus is on managing strong feelings and pacing recovery.

Her approach is action-oriented and respectful of each person’s pace. She uses methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem solving and emotional regulation. That can include practical tools for coping with burnout, mood swings, or relationship tension.

Lacey works with adults who want to reduce reactivity, manage stress better, or move through loss and trauma. She offers straightforward conversation, focused skills practice, and planning that fits into everyday life. Taking the first step is acknowledged as difficult, and she supports clients through that initial process.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and testing new responses. Another approach emphasizes pacing and processing after trauma or loss, giving attention to managing overwhelming feelings while building tolerance over time.

Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what helps, adjust plans, and try different tools when needed.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to deliver skills practice, mood tracking, and problem solving in ways that aim to fit everyday life without requiring lengthy appointments.
