Ms. Lacey has a down to earth, pleasant and warm personality. Professional and most of all, doesn't judge. She'll ask questions to make you think and offers honest assessments when asked. I'm leaving betterhelp for now, because of her help and sound advice. I'm not "cured" of my depression and anxiety by any means, (that's a lifelong situation), but thanks to Christina, I have a much better handle on what to do when those bumps in the road pop-up. She provided me with the tools I needed to be my best self. She's a good person of whom I wish the very best !

Hi and thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I am a marriage and family therapist and this is my second career. I had always wanted to be a therapist but never found the time or the motivation when I was younger. When the opportunity presented itself I was a wife, mother and had a better understanding of myself. I knew what I wanted to do and the focus I wanted to take. I work in private practice with couples, individuals and with the elderly who are an under serviced population. I am also a certified grief counselor.
Having experienced therapy on a personal level as a teenager and an adult, I understood how beneficial it is. Talking with someone and sharing what you are feeling alone is helpful. Having someone who is able to help you see other options and identify things we have been closed off or unable to see, is where therapy shines. My family has struggled with anxiety and depression through my life, I have seen how mental health can influence a family's overall health. Those with mental health issues effect those around them and can cause disruption within the entire family. As a marriage and family therapist I take a systemic approach, looking at all factors, that contribute to someone's happiness or sadness.
I approach therapy with an open mind, respect and sensitivity. I utilize solution focused and narrative theories collaboratively, creating goals and finding the strengths to make changes. Progress is measured regularly to keep up motivation and to check if we are on the right track. Therapy is tough, but with help you and/or you family will find yourself in a better place.
Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Amazing!
I immediately felt comfortable with Christina during our first session. She listens, and gives not only helpful feedback, but honest feedback. I would highly recommend her.
She is very kind and caring. She listens, and takes her time to understand what her clients needs.
Christina’s been working with me for about 2-3 months now and she is honestly a gem. Really a great listener, doesn’t rush me or judge me, and allows me to be comfortable enough to vent everything I have on my chest. It’s been a pleasure having her as my counselor.
I highly recommend Christina. She’s great! I feel better after every session. She’s recommended mindfulness-based exercises, etc. for me to do when I feel stressed, and they’ve definitely helped. She also gives great advice and is very attentive and informative.
Christina has been helpful to me in ways I wasn’t expecting, and she seems to have a knack for both empathizing and getting to the real heart of the matter at hand. Thanks!
Very understandable
