About Lauren
Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to build a respectful space where people can speak openly and choose approaches that fit them. Lauren avoids stigmatizing labels and works with each person on clear, achievable goals.
Lauren uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed plan. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach regulation and coping skills.
Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. That might mean practical skill-building for anxiety, structured tools for mood concerns, or longer conversations about grief and trauma. She also addresses related issues such as anger, addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Lauren works collaboratively to set the pace and adjust methods as needs change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Lauren draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how relationships and early bonds shape current reactions; this approach can help when trust, connection, or relationship patterns are central concerns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills to change mood and behavior, useful for anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lauren works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
