Christina Lacey, LMFT

Christina Lacey, LMFT, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and life transitions. She supports parents, partners, caregivers, and individuals coping with issues like intimacy, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Christina also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and end-of-life concerns related to hospice and caregiving.

Christina trained as a marriage and family therapist after earlier life roles as a wife and mother shaped her priorities. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a perspective informed by personal experience with therapy and family mental health. She aims to notice how one person’s struggles can affect an entire household.

Her style is respectful, direct, and collaborative. Christina uses attachment-based ideas to look at connections between people, and narrative and solution-focused methods to set clear goals. She checks progress regularly so people can see what is changing and what needs a different plan.

In sessions she helps people spot patterns, name feelings, and try new ways of relating. She draws from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address anxious thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses elements of emotionally focused and dialectical approaches when relationships or intense emotions are central concerns.

Christina works from New York and holds a New York license as a licensed marriage and family therapist. She offers help with caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, cancer and hospice-related issues, and finding purpose during life transitions. She aims to make therapy a practical, steady process toward clearer choices.

How attachment, CBT, and DBT translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps with intimacy, caregiving stress, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving stability in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and priorities. This often means trying techniques from different approaches and tracking what helps over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people work on relationship patterns, grief, or caregiver concerns from wherever they are located, while scheduling around family or work demands.
