About Lauren

Lauren Giordano is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She works with adults who are coping with major life changes and the day-to-day impact of difficult experiences. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps a person can use right away.

With 18 years of practice, Lauren draws on several evidence-based approaches to meet a person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to aid emotion regulation and present-moment coping. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and move toward change at their own pace.

Lauren also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories about themselves and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. She aims to blend techniques so each session feels relevant and doable. The work often includes practice between sessions so new habits can form in everyday life.

Lauren holds a Florida LCSW, which means she is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida. She conducts sessions in English and works with adults seeking help for the concerns listed here. International clients are not accepted.

How Lauren Integrates Approaches for Online Work

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that add to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as simple exercises and attention practices that teach noticing sensations and emotions without getting swept away, which helps with regulation and grounding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose techniques together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift or new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills between sessions in the settings where challenges actually occur.
