About Lauren
Lauren Daoust is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She offers calm, steady support and practical tools to make everyday life feel more manageable. Lauren aims to create a space where people can talk openly and begin to reconnect with their strengths.
Lauren brings six years of therapy experience and a longer career in hospice and hospital social work. That background shaped her focus on listening well and noticing both emotional and physical responses that matter in healing.
Background and approach
She pays attention to what shows up in the body as much as in words and uses that information to guide the work. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions often include simple exercises, mindfulness practices, or behavior-focused techniques that fit into daily life.
Lauren uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address patterns, values, and relationships. She helps people work through a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and problems with sleep and self-esteem. Anger and compassion fatigue are also named focuses she addresses in sessions.
Lauren practices in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English. The first meeting is low pressure and aimed at understanding immediate concerns and goals. She supports people in building small, practical steps that add up to meaningful change.

Approaches for change in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can help when stress, anger, or life transitions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early or current relationships shape expectations and emotion, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and relationship worries.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches make sense based on goals, needs, and what feels workable in daily life. That collaborative planning helps shape session activities and homework so people try techniques that match their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls approximate an in-person session and allow visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter interactions between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, caregiving, or health concerns.
