Julie Lacey

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Joni Sturgill

Joni Sturgill

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My work blends traditional counseling with mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and body-based practices, so clients don’t just talk about their challenges—they develop practical tools to handle them in real life.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and am also an experienced yoga and meditation teacher (ERYT-500). I’ve spent years integrating Eastern philosophy and modern psychology into a grounded, accessible approach that helps people feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices.

I specialize in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally stressed, and are looking for more than coping—they want clarity, purpose, and a better way to move through life.

My approach is both practical and reflective. I focus on two key areas: helping you regulate your nervous system so you feel more steady day to day, and helping you shift your perspective so you can respond to life more intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot.

I’ve also developed and led a mindfulness-based program used in schools, healthcare systems, and organizations, with measurable outcomes in stress reduction, emotional regulation, and focus .

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, we’ll likely be a good fit.
