About Lucetry
Dr. Lucetry Dalton-Trusty is a Michigan Psychologist with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, and questions about identity and intimacy. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is interactive and collaborative. Sessions are conversational and often include brief, practical homework. She uses humor and straightforward talk when it helps, and encourages reflection and shifts in thinking rather than quick fixes.
Dr. Dalton-Trusty describes her approach as integrative and evidence-informed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the approaches she lists, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix guides how she responds to emotions, patterns in relationships, and moments of stuckness.
She has worked in several U.S. states during training and practice, with experience across age groups and cultural backgrounds. Her clinical work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, substance concerns, and coping after disasters.
In sessions she commonly suggests short homework tasks that encourage new perspectives and practice of skills between meetings. People who want a clear, engaged therapist who will talk through feelings, patterns, and practical next steps may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It focuses on what feelings mean in close relationships and how new emotional experiences can change those patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and clarifying values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical skills to change unhelpful behaviors and mood. Both ACT and CBT offer clear exercises that translate well to virtual sessions and brief homework between meetings.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and noticing what fits over a few sessions.
The therapist’s biography states she offers virtual telehealth psychotherapy services.

Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written or video-based homework between sessions to stay focused on change.
