About Lacie
Lacie Martinez is a Kentucky Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Lacie also addresses issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and workplace problems.
She has held roles as a substance abuse and dual diagnosis therapist, a clinical director, and an operations director. That background means she is familiar with both direct client work and the systems that shape care. In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship first and clarifying what a client wants to change.
Lacie describes her approach as client-centered and strength based. She asks questions, listens for what matters to the person, and helps identify personal strengths that can support change. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer choices rather than abstract theory.
She works collaboratively to set goals that aim to increase self-worth and improve daily functioning. That can include talking through how guilt or shame shows up, practicing different ways to communicate, or addressing habits tied to substance use. Progress is paced to what a person can manage in their life.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward and focused on next steps. Lacie encourages people to notice small changes and build on them, with a clear eye toward practical problems and real-world responsibilities.
Approaches and how online sessions are used
Her biography highlights client-centered and strength-based work, focusing on practical, evidence-informed techniques that help people change behaviors and manage strong emotions. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person’s priorities, with the therapist guiding goal-setting and reflective listening to clarify next steps.Strength-based methods mean sessions look for existing skills and resources the client already has. That approach supports building on small wins, which can be useful for issues like guilt and shame, low self-esteem, or workplace stress. When substance use or co-occurring problems are present, this practical focus often centers on managing triggers and planning safer choices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about what matters, try methods that suit their goals, and adjust based on what helps. People are invited to give feedback and help shape the work together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit around work, childcare, or other commitments because they remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Practical benefits include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a regular routine, while decisions about format are made together based on the client’s needs and daily life.
