About Christina
Christina Lacey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She lists family and parenting among her focus areas and commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and caregiver fatigue.
Christina moved into therapy as a second career after raising a family. She draws on that life experience alongside her clinical work. She has worked with individuals, couples, and older adults and also notes experience with grief counseling.
Her approach is practical and system-minded. She looks at relationships and the wider family context when a person is struggling. She uses solution-focused techniques and narrative work to help people identify strengths and set clear goals.
Christina measures progress regularly so people can see small changes and stay motivated. She also integrates attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's needs. Sessions are described as respectful and sensitive, with attention to what is actually happening at home.
Many people who come to her want help with communication problems, blended family issues, caregiving stress, or coping after loss. She also lists concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice-related difficulties, infidelity, divorce and separation, and life purpose work.
Christina writes plainly about what therapy asks of a person: time, effort, and a willingness to try new ways of relating. She aims to help clients and their families find clearer ways forward and more manageable day-to-day routines.
How sessions work
How Christina’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In practice this means looking at relationship patterns and how they affect stress, intimacy, and communication. It can help with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Sessions typically include practical exercises and small behavior experiments to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will assess needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That process may blend attachment ideas, CBT tools, narrative work, and mindfulness practices so the plan fits the person’s circumstances.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding camera use when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
