About Lauren
Lauren Giordano helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in Florida and brings 18 years of experience to sessions. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Clients can expect clear tools to manage anxious thoughts and stronger ways to cope after loss or trauma. She often uses short, goal-focused work alongside techniques to slow down rumination and build calm.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the person is comfortable with and emphasize skills that can be used between meetings. Lauren also supports people dealing with relationship wounds, abandonment concerns, body image struggles, caregiving strain, and life transitions like divorce or blended family adjustments. She pays attention to how past hurts shape current reactions and helps clients tell a clearer story about themselves.
Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies. Those tools are chosen to match each person’s needs and preferences rather than a fixed protocol. Lauren offers phone, video, live chat, and text messaging sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
How her approaches work online
Lauren commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy when working with stress, anxiety, or grief. CBT focuses on finding unhelpful thinking and shifting it toward more useful patterns, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and notice thoughts without getting overwhelmed.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and find their own reasons to change. This approach is collaborative and respects each person's pace, with the therapist helping to set realistic steps toward goals.
Finding which approach fits takes time and discussion. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and practical needs, then suggest methods to try together. Adjustments are made along the way so the work aligns with the client's life and priorities.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and texting supports brief or frequent contact. These options allow people to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
