Lacie WinnLCSW

Lacie Winn is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, work concerns, and major life transitions. Her work emphasizes steady, practical steps that fit your life. She offers a calm, compassionate presence and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. Conversations are aimed at making everyday coping feel more manageable. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills they can use between sessions. Her background includes long experience helping people facing loss, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and the stresses that follow divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster-care histories, attachment and abandonment issues, and changes related to aging. In sessions she borrows from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create clear, practical plans. That means working together to set goals, practice new ways of responding, and track progress. The emphasis is on skills that reduce overwhelm and increase resilience. Lacie works from Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English. She aims to be straightforward and kind, and to help people move toward steadier days through realistic, useful steps.

Evidence-based tools and how online therapy fits

Two common evidence-based approaches she draws on are cognitive strategies and skills-based work. Cognitive strategies help people notice thoughts that increase worry or low mood and try new, more balanced ways of thinking. Skills-based work teaches concrete coping tools for managing stress, anxiety, and the ups and downs of life transitions.

Another helpful approach focuses on behavioral activation - planning small, manageable actions to increase a sense of momentum and improve mood. This can be useful for people dealing with grief, low energy, or motivation challenges following big life changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, or separation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care through moves or schedule changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to work well in virtual settings when that format is available.
