About Lauren

Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for practical steps they can try between sessions.
How Lauren works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit what feels manageable for the client. Lauren uses evidence-based tools to help people change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques into conversations to spot patterns and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress and grounding. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and action-based. That approach is useful for people who want clear steps and measurable progress.
Lauren combines methods to match what a person needs at the moment. Her background includes a decade of clinical work with youth and families, and she has supported people through trauma, dissociation, seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm concerns.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions break big problems into small steps and practice new habits between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple grounding and breathing practices. These short skills can reduce stress and improve focus, and they work well during a phone or video check-in.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions directed toward concrete goals and quick actions. It is helpful for people who want to see measurable progress and try short experiments between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then shape sessions around what feels most useful. Plans can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins or tight schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines without long commutes.
