About Lauren
Lauren Fehlberg offers practical, compassionate counselling grounded in tried approaches. She draws on 13 years of experience in Australia to help people manage stress, anxiety and grief. Lauren works in a straightforward way to build skills and steady routines that fit everyday life.
Clients often bring issues such as parenting strain, low self-esteem, eating concerns and major life changes. Lauren also helps with attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, panic attacks and social anxiety.
How Lauren works
She focuses on clear steps that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions blend active strategies with gentle reflection. Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice patterns, try new choices and practise small changes.
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotion regulation and relationships. Lauren holds AASW, the Australian Association of Social Workers credential, and has worked across community and clinical settings. Her style is patient and direct, asking practical questions and suggesting exercises people can use between sessions.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People meet Lauren online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She supports adults working through depression, panic, isolation and life transitions, helping them find realistic ways to feel more capable and connected.

Online support options
Therapeutic tools for online counselling and wellbeing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going, often used for panic, depression and social anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so sessions can fit around work, study and caregiving. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
