About Christina
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in New York with eight years of clinical experience, Christina Lacey helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and caregiving strain. She also focuses on issues such as ADHD, bipolar concerns, family conflict, and aging-related or end-of-life challenges. Christina works with individuals and couples and has experience supporting older adults in private practice.
Christina describes therapy as practical conversation and problem solving. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and uses solution-focused and narrative techniques to set clear goals. Sessions include checking progress regularly so goals stay relevant and motivation stays steady.
Her background includes personal experience with therapy at different life stages and professional work as a marriage and family therapist. That perspective shapes an emphasis on how mental health affects family systems and daily functioning. Christina also holds a certification in grief counseling and brings that focus to bereavement, hospice, and end-of-life issues.
In session she uses plain language and collaborative planning. She helps people name what’s happening, identify options they might not see, and apply small changes that add up. She watches for patterns that affect relationships and daily routine and builds strategies to reduce disruption.
Christina’s practice combines relational understanding with concrete tools. Progress is tracked and discussed so people know when adjustments are needed. Her approach is steady and oriented toward measurable steps rather than vague promises.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions today; online work uses conversations to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses clear exercises and between-session practice to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, often through step-by-step practice and skill coaching.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, past patterns, and practical goals. Together they pick methods and adjust them as progress is measured, so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or timing is limited, or video sessions when visual cues are useful. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life and on using approaches that match the client’s needs and goals.
