About Lauren
Lauren learned early on to meet people where they are. Her Peace Corps work with families deepened that skill and taught her to listen without judgment. She has supported people who have experienced significant trauma and those recovering from PTSD or suicidal thoughts.
Her style is practical and goal-focused. Sessions include conversation and concrete tools to use between meetings. She helps clients set small steps and checks progress toward the goals they choose.
Lauren emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship. She wants clients to feel safe saying difficult things and to feel understood and respected in the room. She may encourage, guide, and sometimes challenge clients to remove obstacles to change.
Therapeutic approaches Lauren uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, existential ideas, and motivational interviewing. These methods inform how she helps with anxiety, coping skills, and decision making.
People interested in working with Lauren should note her LPC credential and Texas practice location. Sessions are conducted in English and she is not taking international clients.
How her approaches guide online care
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice different responses. CBT is practical and skills-focused, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-based skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs clearer strategies for coping in intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what helps someone make steady progress.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel, and it can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use therapies that emphasize skills practice and planning in between sessions, which aligns with her tool-focused style.
