About Lacey
Lacey Lykins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strains, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also offers coaching focused on motivation and confidence. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take the small steps that lead to change.
Lacey works with concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and issues around control and guilt.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with isolation, money worries, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Sessions focus on clear goals and workable strategies that fit each person’s situation. She brings five years of clinical experience and holds a Kentucky Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW.
Lacey frames conversations with sensitivity and compassion. She listens first, then helps shape a plan that matches what the person says they need. In sessions she blends coaching-style guidance with therapeutic conversations.
That can mean practicing new ways to speak up, trying small behavior changes, or working through painful emotions step by step. The focus is on skills people can use between meetings. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Lacey aims to empower people rather than tell them what to do. She encourages gradual progress and helps people notice what is working as they move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Two approaches commonly used are goal-focused coaching and skills-based therapy. Goal-focused coaching emphasizes clear, actionable steps to build motivation and confidence, which can help when someone feels stuck or needs practical progress. Skills-based therapy focuses on learning and practicing specific skills for communication, emotion management, and coping with stress, which can reduce day-to-day strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and adaptable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a microphone-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
