About Lacie
Lacie Martinez is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, workplace issues, and questions about life purpose.
Martinez draws on a client-centered, strength-based approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and focuses first on building a working relationship. Sessions begin by identifying immediate concerns and practical goals that feel relevant to daily life.
In work with addictions and dual diagnosis she brings experience gained as a substance abuse therapist and as a clinical and operations director. That background informs how she helps people manage cravings, recognize triggers, and build routines that reduce harm and support stability.
When people arrive after a big life shift, she prioritizes clear, stepwise goals. Those goals often center on improving communication, rebuilding self-worth, and making decisions that reflect what matters now. She uses strength-focused conversation to help people notice what already works and expand on it.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients set measurable steps and checks progress along the way. People who want to clarify purpose or move past a stuck period will find concrete tools and practical planning in her sessions.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many of the techniques she uses are evidence-based and focused on present-day problems. Client-centered work means conversations center on the person's priorities and strengths to set practical goals. This helps with motivation, self-esteem, and figuring out next steps after a life change.When addressing addictions and dual diagnosis, she draws on relapse prevention ideas that identify triggers, build coping routines, and create step-by-step plans to reduce harm. For stress and anxiety, brief behavioral and skills-focused strategies are used to teach simple ways to manage symptoms and test small changes in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at problems, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. That means approaches can shift over time based on what is helping and what is not.
