About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Lauren speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She began her work in a community mental health agency in Tennessee, where she saw how poverty, addiction, and trauma affect daily life and family patterns.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her practical approach to problem solving. She has extensive experience with young adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. Lauren describes her style as warm, empathetic, and goal oriented.
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and to build plans that fit real life. Cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work are used to set clear goals and identify steps people can try between sessions. She has a particular interest in supporting people through major life changes, including new engagement and early parenting seasons, when routines and roles shift quickly.
Lauren is also open to discussing spirituality during sessions for those who want that included. Lauren earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. She lives in Tennessee and draws on both professional practice and everyday family life in her approach.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Lauren uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. That approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and building goals together. It helps when someone wants a therapist who adapts to their needs and values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and stress. These techniques are often paired with solution-focused work to set clear, short-term goals and try small changes that add up.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From that conversation they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and tone during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy life.
