About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She draws on ten years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. Lauren aims to offer a warm, goal-focused space for people who want practical change.
She began her work in a community mental health agency where she learned how poverty, addiction, and trauma shape individual lives and family dynamics. That early experience informs how she understands daily stressors and the hard choices people make.
How Lauren works
Lauren often supports people navigating parenting challenges, new engagement or early parenthood, and balancing work with family life. She has spent many years helping young adults and adolescents manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is empathetic and client-centered. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness ideas to set goals, practice new skills, and track progress. Sessions mix practical tools with reflective conversation so people leave with clear next steps.
Lauren holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. Outside work she is married and understands the daily navigation of dual-career family life. She is open to discussing spirituality when clients want to include it in their sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with practical exercises and new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest strategies, try different tools, and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and focused on measurable steps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, homework, or when scheduling makes real-time sessions difficult. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and accessible around work, family, and daily life.
