How Lauren works
She listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions are aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big leaps. She emphasizes support and encouragement as people try new ways of coping.
Her approach blends straightforward strategies with skills-based work. Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people test new behaviors and reshape unhelpful thoughts. She helps translate therapeutic ideas into real-life routines that fit daily demands.
With four years of clinical experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she draws on that background to stay grounded and practical. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals, what’s working, and what to try next. Lauren values collaboration and helps clients set achievable targets that match their goals.
Therapy sessions can include talking through problems, practicing coping skills, and planning small experiments to build confidence. The tone is practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people move forward at their own pace.

How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online
Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that worsen stress or anxiety and then practice alternative, more helpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tends to focus on hands-on strategies and short-term experiments to change daily routines and improve mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing intense reactions. DBT tools can help when strong feelings make it hard to keep relationships or personal goals on track.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Lauren will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so strategies feel usable in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between full sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent progress over time.
