About Lauren
Lauren Scharadin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on practical support for life changes and common mood challenges. Lauren writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions. That experience includes assisting people with panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Her practice also addresses co-morbidity and control issues that often come with mood disorders.
How Lauren works
Lauren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed view to guide work in sessions. She keeps the approach client-centered, listening first and helping people build skills that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize clear coping strategies, pacing, and small changes that add up.
People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what feels hard. Lauren helps identify practical steps for immediate stress relief and longer-term emotional growth. She also supports young adult issues and the transitions that come with early adult life.
Her goal is to help people recognize strengths and practice tools that improve day-to-day functioning. Lauren aims for collaboration, so plans are shaped around each person’s needs and goals.

Approaches and how online therapy works
Lauren uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - it breaks down worry into manageable parts and teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past distress affects current reactions and helps build safety and pacing while processing difficult memories. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.Start online instead of waiting
