About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who blends psychotherapy with whole-person practices. She draws on talk therapy alongside mind-body techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Lauren offers a calm, straightforward presence and focuses on building practical skills clients can use day to day.
Lauren centers work around attachment and emotional experience while also using cognitive tools to address unhealthy thinking patterns.
How Lauren works
Sessions often combine gentle body-awareness practices, focused conversation, and reflective exercises that help people notice what they feel and why. She places emphasis on strengthening self-esteem, addressing codependency and communication problems, and coping with grief or trauma and abuse. Her background includes six years of clinical practice and training in yoga and somatic approaches.
That combination shapes a style that invites both feeling and action - calming the nervous system and then practicing new ways of relating and thinking. Lauren has a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practiced in Colorado before moving to independent practice settings.
People turn to her for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, body image and sexuality concerns, and issues tied to family of origin or abandonment. She also supports career transitions and life changes, offering coaching-oriented work for goal setting and follow-through. Lauren accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Therapy with her uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centered, emotionally focused, Jungian, and cognitive behavioral ideas. The aim is to leave clients with skills they can reuse long after sessions end.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice attachment needs and practice new ways of connecting and regulating emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's priorities. In remote sessions this means the therapist listens closely, mirrors what is important to the client, and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Through structured online work clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking, test new perspectives, and try small behavioral experiments between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That collaboration can include trying one approach for a while and adjusting if something else seems more helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people access consistent care from wherever they are located.
