Background and approach
She teaches coping techniques that people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on real steps you can try soon after each session. Lauren often works with issues related to chronic pain, illness, or disability and the stress that caregivers carry.
She also helps people navigate difficult life events such as divorce, midlife shifts, or changes in work. Money worries, control struggles, and feelings of isolation are common topics she addresses. Therapy with Lauren aims to identify what’s getting in the way and try manageable changes.
Sessions include talking through problems, learning skills, and practicing new habits. Progress is paced to fit each person’s situation and daily life. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Lauren draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach she uses emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and planning tools to reduce overwhelming moments and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach centers on managing addictions and related behaviors by identifying triggers, building relapse prevention plans, and practicing healthier routines to replace harmful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that match the person’s life and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills coaching, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or text can support brief updates and ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options aim to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
