Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to alter those parts. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the lingering effects of past harm. This approach supports gradual exposure to difficult memories and the development of coping skills to manage strong emotions and triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person meeting, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping continuity of care.
