About Lacey
Lacey Buxton is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Lacey also supports people facing anger, self-esteem and career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and life transitions.
She approaches sessions with respect for each person's story and strengths. Lacey treats clients as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and structure. She encourages practical steps people can try between meetings to test what helps and what does not.
In session she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, and then helps clients practice different responses. This can include learning new ways to manage strong feelings, techniques to reduce worry, and strategies for coping with loss. She speaks plainly about what to try and explains how to use the tools in day-to-day life.
Lacey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors conversations to the immediate concern. She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so therapy stays focused on real-world results. People often come away with clearer choices and skills they can use when stress or anger rises.
She wants the first appointment to feel manageable: a short matching process, a clear plan for the first session, and a few steps to take afterward. Lacey practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Lacey uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on skills you can practice. One common approach teaches concrete emotion regulation skills to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and choose responses that match your goals. This helps with anger flare-ups, stress at work, and building better reactions in relationships. Another widely used approach addresses trauma and strong emotional responses by helping people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of painful reactions over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lacey will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She explains options clearly and makes adjustments as progress is assessed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Working remotely also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems actually happen, which can speed up learning and application.
