She focuses on straightforward conversations and honest feedback. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause pain and build steps people can use between meetings.
How Lauren works
Lauren often blends approaches that teach new skills, change unhelpful thoughts, and increase awareness of feelings. Lauren has four years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. That background includes addressing body image and eating-related issues, codependency and attachment concerns, anger and bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with purpose or isolation.
She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric topics, intellectual disability related questions, and forgiveness, guilt, or shame. Her methods include client-centered work that focuses on each person's goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift patterns, dialectical behavioral strategies for emotion regulation, mindfulness practices to increase calm, and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.
Lauren aims to meet people where they are and build realistic steps forward. To begin, she invites people to describe their main concern and set clear, achievable goals for therapy. Sessions are practical and paced to match each person's needs, with room for reflection and skill practice between visits.

How Lauren’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values and involves listening, reflecting, and supporting the choices someone wants to make. It helps when people want a therapist who follows their lead and builds the work around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and stress by giving concrete skills to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be helpful for strong emotions, relationship struggles, and patterns that cause repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lauren will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit work, family, and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
