About Lauren
Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from West Virginia with 13 years of experience. She began her work overseas and later completed a master’s in counseling from West Virginia University. Lauren focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma, grief, and major life changes in a direct, practical way.
Her background includes work as a bereavement counselor and school counselor before shifting toward adult-focused clinical work. This mix gives her a broad perspective on how loss, attachment wounds, and ongoing stress show up in daily life.
How Lauren works
Lauren draws on that history when she helps people make sense of strong emotions and recurring patterns. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable steps. She blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered listening.
Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help finding momentum for change. Lauren aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the plan to their situation.
Practical skills, emotion regulation, and rebuilding connection are common focuses. People who reach out often want relief from loneliness, burnout, or repeated relationship conflict. Lauren works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, coping after loss, and mood changes.
Her approach is calm, direct, and focused on what will help between sessions.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help when people feel overwhelmed by emotions or stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches skills to change patterns of behavior and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions; it helps people understand and change patterns that affect their connections now.Lauren treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps most. The focus is on finding practical tools that fit each person’s needs and rhythm, not on forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support, or when typing feels more manageable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
