About Lauren
Lauren Anzelone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps with addiction-related struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Lauren uses straightforward, strengths-based work in sessions. She listens first, helps people identify small steps, and partners with them to try new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, aimed at skills people can use outside sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes many years working with children, adolescents, adults with disabilities, and caregivers in community settings. That experience informs how she approaches behavioral challenges and parenting questions. She has supported people impacted by physical trauma and emotional abuse.
Lauren integrates several practical approaches. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and focus on each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support quick, usable change when readiness is varied. Her prior work includes supporting foster parents with behavioral management strategies and helping women and young adults navigate life transitions. Lauren brings three years of documented clinical experience as an LCSW and aims to offer steady, compassionate guidance.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How Lauren's approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. It helps people set their own goals and feel heard while exploring what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and for learning new coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure or stuck about change. It uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and move toward small, achievable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide what methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is adjusted as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates between sessions or use therapy in shorter bursts during the day. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity of support.
