When cropping in Lightroom, I usually see the Rule of Thirds overlay. Is there a built-in way to switch to other crop guides such as the Golden Ratio or Fibonacci Spiral, or do I need a plug-in?

LR has an option to cycle through the various grid overlays for cropping, including the Golden Ration, Fibonacci Spiral and others.
In the Develop module, select your photo.
Click on the "Crop" icon from the right-side panel (it's the first one on the left).
Press the letter "O" to cycle through the overlay options. Or select in the
Tools >> Crop Guide Overlaysubmenu.
For overlays that have different center points press Shift-O to cycle through those.

Yes. Lightroom already includes additional crop guide overlays, so no plug-in is needed.
In the Develop module, open the Crop tool and press O to cycle through the available overlay options, including Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Spiral. You can also access these from Tools > Crop Guide Overlay.
For overlays that support different orientations or center positions, press Shift+O to cycle through those variations.
