About Lauren
Lauren Turner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings nine years of experience to therapy. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about anxiety, stress, relationship strain, anger, addiction, and life changes. Lauren focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Her approach centers on listening and tailoring care to each person's needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help calm intense emotions and improve focus for people with ADHD or stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change, especially around addictions and health behaviors.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and solution-focused. Lauren helps clients set small, achievable goals and tracks progress together. She avoids labels and treats people with compassion and respect while addressing issues like grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, eating struggles, and career stress.
Licensed in Ohio as an LISW and in North Carolina as an LCSW, she offers in-depth clinical experience without clinical jargon. Lauren welcomes conversations about how therapy could fit into everyday life and supports clients as they try new strategies.

How Lauren blends approaches for online care
Lauren often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people sort out what matters and then take concrete steps toward change. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions follow the client's lead, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection so the person feels heard. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress, anxiety, anger, or low mood and testing new ways of responding. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and attention practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Together these approaches can help with anger, anxiety, addiction, and everyday stress. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggest approaches to try. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as needed. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that matters most. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when a shorter, more flexible touchpoint helps someone stay on track.Questions people ask about Lauren
