Background and approach
Her work blends listening with clear, usable steps. Lauren draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior techniques to manage intense feelings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when clients want to build awareness or find internal motivation.
She also addresses life stresses like parenting strain, career changes, immigration-related challenges, and money worries. Lauren helps people facing trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver fatigue. She supports those coping with mood disorders, PTSD, and discrimination-related stress.
Therapy can include short check-ins or longer sessions depending on needs. Lauren uses talk, practical exercises, and homework that fit a person's schedule. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Lauren commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes short activities to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, address mood, and improve sleep.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that many people find useful when anger or strong reactions are frequent.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text can be helpful for short updates, skill practice, or when a written approach feels easier to manage. These options make it simpler to keep consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
