About Christina Lacey

Christina Lacey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who pursued therapy as a second career after raising a family and gaining clearer insight into her own goals. She practices in a private setting and works with couples, individuals, and older adults, a group she identifies as often underserved. She also holds certification as a grief counselor, bringing focused support for loss alongside broader relational work.

Christina's perspective is informed by personal experience with therapy both as a teenager and later in life, which shaped her appreciation for the value of being heard and exploring new options. Having grown up in a family affected by anxiety and depression, she understands how mental health influences the entire family system and contributes to patterns of disruption or resilience.

As a marriage and family therapist she uses a systemic lens, considering the multiple factors that contribute to a person's well-being or distress. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, respect, and sensitivity. She draws on solution-focused and narrative approaches to help clients set clear goals, locate strengths, and make measurable progress. Regularly assessing progress is part of her method to maintain motivation and confirm that therapy is moving in a helpful direction.

Christina approaches therapeutic work with openness and practicality, aiming to help individuals and families navigate difficult emotions and life transitions so they can move toward greater stability and meaning.

It offers a convenient way to access therapeutic support without the need to travel.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. This variety also allows clients to choose the style of communication that feels most comfortable for them.

Therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients can change providers if they need a different fit. For those weighing the choice, remote sessions can offer practical advantages while supporting meaningful progress on many everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
