Lacie Glasser
Hi, I’m Lacie Glasser, LPCC. I work with adults and older adolescents, with a special focus on women, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain about what comes next, or simply tired of carrying so much on your own.
I generally believe clients should start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, depending on the severity of need, and can decrease to monthly sessions over time.
I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and build practical skills for meaningful change. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated Christian counseling.
First session
Your first session is focused on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and creating a clear direction for our work together. We will start by reviewing important policies and answering any questions you may have about the therapy process. From there, I will complete an initial assessment to learn more about your current concerns, symptoms, history, and life experiences. This part of the session may feel a little more structured than future sessions, but it helps me develop a better understanding of your needs. We will also begin identifying a few goals for therapy so that our work feels purposeful, collaborative, and focused on what is most important to you.
Strengths
One of the strengths I bring to therapy is the ability to balance warmth and empathy with practical, goal-focused support. I work collaboratively with clients, using my clinical knowledge while also recognizing that you are the expert on your own experiences. I value clear communication and psychoeducation, helping you better understand symptoms, patterns, and emotional responses so therapy feels less confusing and more empowering. I also make space for your feedback throughout the process so our work stays focused on what feels most meaningful and helpful to you.
Ideal clients
I work with older adolescents and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful. Many of my clients are navigating depression, chronic stress, relationship challenges, burnout, or major life transitions and want support that goes beyond simply getting through the day. My ideal client is someone who wants to better understand themselves, strengthen emotional regulation, build healthier relationships, and develop practical coping skills that can be used in everyday life. Together, we focus on creating greater balance, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients identify what truly matters to them across different areas of life, such as relationships, career, personal growth, leisure, health, and spirituality. Clarifying your values can provide a clearer sense of direction, especially when anxiety, depression, or stress has left you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what you want. Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and avoidance patterns may be pulling you away from the life you want to live. ACT focuses on learning how to make space for difficult emotions while still taking meaningful steps toward your values. Over time, this can help you feel more purposeful, flexible, and confident in the choices you make, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present.
Christian Counseling
I believe therapy is most effective when it respects each client’s individual worldview, values, and beliefs. For clients who identify as Christian and would like faith to be part of the counseling process, I am comfortable integrating spiritual beliefs into therapy in a way that feels natural, respectful, and supportive. When appropriate and desired, we may explore how faith influences your understanding of yourself, relationships, challenges, and personal growth. Scripture, prayer, and Christian values can be incorporated as sources of encouragement, reflection, and meaning while still using evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I strongly believe in the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The way we interpret a situation can influence how we feel and how we respond, especially when we are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or other difficult emotions. I help clients identify unhelpful or overly critical thought patterns and learn how to evaluate them in a more balanced and realistic way. Rather than simply trying to “think positively,” we work on developing thoughts that feel both accurate and helpful. I also help clients identify emotional triggers and recognize patterns that may contribute to feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or reactive. Together, we can develop practical coping strategies to manage difficult emotions, improve emotional regulation, and respond to stressful situations in healthier and more intentional ways. The goal is to help you better understand your patterns, build confidence in your ability to cope, and create meaningful changes that carry over into everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients better understand their emotions, recognize patterns in how they respond to stress, and develop practical skills for managing difficult situations. An important part of DBT is learning dialectical thinking, or the ability to hold two things as true at the same time. This can help reduce all-or-nothing thinking and create more flexibility in how you view yourself, others, and challenging situations. I am trained to help clients build skills in areas such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help you manage intense emotions, cope more effectively during stressful moments, communicate your needs more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and improve relationships. The goal is to help you feel more confident in your ability to respond to difficult emotions and life challenges in ways that support your overall well-being.
