About Lauren
She aims to help people sort through attachment and communication problems, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions include straightforward problem solving, skills practice, and attention to how past losses shape current relationships. She also addresses issues like anger, codependency, and blended family stress.
Her work pulls from attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques inform clear, goal-oriented plans. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when people feel stuck.
Dr. Pitts-Bounds earned a doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management and a master’s degree in Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Drexel University. She also holds a bachelor’s in organizational management and an associate degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management. She is a Fulbright Alumni Ambassador and a former Fulbright Scholar.
Outside clinical hours she leads workshops and weekly live talks on relationships and mental health. Her voice often centers on turning difficult life experiences into practical growth. People who want a blend of coaching, therapy-style work, and clear next steps often find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practice new ways of relating with partners or family members.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person’s own goals. This approach supports people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and decide next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to change. In virtual sessions CBT tools are used to set small experiments and track progress between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online care can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into busy routines. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to follow through on goals and practice new skills in everyday life.
