About Lacey
Lacey Haggan-Galloway is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Idaho and Utah with about 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship issues, parent-child conflict, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. She works with people who are trying to make sense of strong emotions and repeated patterns that interfere with daily life.
In sessions she treats common struggles like stress, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and career-related worries. She also addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family tensions, and family-of-origin issues. Her background includes work with people coping with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
Lacey uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) together with attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions and relationship patterns keep repeating. She also draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy where helpful. This mix is offered in straightforward, talk-and-do sessions rather than technical lectures.
Her style foregrounds the client’s own experience and strengths. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. She encourages practical steps for everyday life such as coping skills, emotion regulation strategies, and clearer communication with others.
People who choose her often want help understanding why old patterns keep returning, repairing connections, or managing symptoms after trauma. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How EFT and related approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns they trigger in relationships. It helps people recognize recurring emotional cycles and try new ways of responding to one another to reduce reactivity and increase connection.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current attachment needs and responses. It helps people notice how those patterns show up in stress, parenting, or close relationships and practice more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and supports the client in making choices that fit their life and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then decide together which combination of EFT, attachment ideas, or skills-based CBT/DBT strategies to use. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of sessions over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding camera use when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in day-to-day settings.
