About Lacrecia
Her approach is practical and conversational. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and priorities. Conversations are meant to help people identify patterns, set small goals, and try concrete steps between meetings.
Dr. Dangerfield uses several therapy approaches to guide work in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape present relationships. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe life stories in ways that feel more empowering.
She also brings solution-focused ideas into sessions to keep work goal-oriented and efficient. That can mean short-term plans, check-ins on progress, and practical strategies for daily stressors. She pays attention to cultural background and women’s issues when they matter to the person in front of her.
People often seek her out for help with life transitions such as divorce, caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, or questions about purpose and midlife change. She invites each person to be an active partner in deciding what to try and how to measure progress.

How her approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections and patterns. In practice this means talking about relationship history and noticing repeated interaction styles that cause stress, then finding new ways to relate that feel safer and more effective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or lift mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to select methods that fit their needs and goals. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT or using solution-focused steps for short-term problems.
The original biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows work to continue through life changes, using the same therapeutic methods adapted to remote conversations.
