Background and approach
Sessions center on attainable steps and real-life tools to manage emotions and daily demands. Lauren draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help people clarify goals and take action toward them. Her work includes attention to codependency, anger, career stress, postpartum mood concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Lauren adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s situation and readiness for change.
With seven years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she aims to be respectful, honest, and supportive. Lauren invites people to take small steps and offers clear resources along the way. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage while helping clients move forward.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. This approach helps people set priorities and shape the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and short-term goals; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Lauren will listen to your concerns, try different tools, and adjust plans based on your needs and preferences. The process is collaborative so the techniques fit your goals and daily life rather than being imposed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a conversation similar to an in-person session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Chat and messaging support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or pacing between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit work on emotions and behavior into busy lives and to maintain momentum between meetings.
