About Lauren
Lauren Krall meets people where they are and helps them take the next step. She is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at making hard conversations feel manageable.
Lauren works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and problems with attention. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, body image and eating issues, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.
How Lauren works
Parenting strain, career stress, and major life changes are also common topics in her work. Her style blends listening with practical tools. She uses client-centered methods to understand each person's goals, cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and attachment-focused ideas to improve emotional connection and patterns.
She also draws on emotion-focused and dialectical strategies when strong feelings or relationship patterns are central. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Lauren helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings.
She encourages self-reflection and skill-building so progress continues outside sessions. Lauren trained at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and has been licensed since 2011. People who choose her can expect steady guidance, clear feedback, and a focus on practical change over time.

How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online
Lauren commonly uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early patterns shape current relationships and help people change repeated interaction habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping clients set their own goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skills practice, or when writing helps someone organize their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on steady progress.
