About Lacie
Lacie Martinez is a Kentucky-licensed professional counselor who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people navigating addictions, relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes. Her approach centers on building a respectful, collaborative relationship from the first session.
She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths that can be used to make practical changes. Sessions emphasize clear, attainable goals that address self-worth, motivation, and daily functioning.
Background and approach
She uses a client-centered, strength-based, holistic perspective to guide the work. In practice she draws on experience from roles as a substance abuse and dual diagnosis therapist, Clinical Director, and Operations Director. That background supports practical problem solving around workplace issues, communication problems, and coping strategies for stress.
She also helps people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She works with clients to set steps toward clearer communication, increased confidence, and a stronger sense of purpose.
Changes are paced to match each person’s needs and life circumstances. People who choose her often want an experienced counselor who values their perspective and focuses on real-life results. The work aims to reduce anxiety, strengthen coping skills, and support a more fulfilling day-to-day life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building strengths and practical coping skills. One approach is client-centered work that emphasizes listening, validating each person’s experience, and shaping goals together; this helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Another strand of her work focuses on behavioral strategies and real-life problem solving to address stress, workplace challenges, and addictive behaviors; this involves breaking problems into steps and testing small changes to see what works.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time and measure progress in concrete ways like improved daily functioning, clearer communication, or reduced worry.
Online formats she uses include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
