Lacey Buxton, LMHC

Lacey Buxton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of professional experience. As an LMHC she provides counseling grounded in clinical training and hands-on experience, working with individuals facing a range of emotional challenges.

She has particular experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and address symptoms of depression. Her work centers on recognizing each person as the expert of their own story and building on clients' existing strengths to navigate difficult moments and move toward meaningful change.

Beginning therapy can feel like a courageous step, and she honors that decision while offering supportive, practical guidance. Lacey focuses on creating a respectful, strengths-based environment where clients are encouraged to explore concerns at a comfortable pace and to tap their own resources as they work toward their goals.

Evidence-based and strengths-focused online therapy

Licensed professionals often draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which means using methods supported by research to address symptoms and build coping skills. These techniques focus on practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and mood concerns, and can include structured skill building to help clients respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Alongside evidence-based work, Lacey emphasizes a strengths-based perspective that recognizes each person as an expert in their own life. This approach helps clients identify and use their existing resources to face challenges such as grief, trauma, or life transitions. For those affected by past abuse or trauma, trauma-responsive care provides a careful, paced way to address painful experiences while supporting safety and stability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or work when needed.
