How Lauren’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel understood. This approach is helpful for people who need space to sort through feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, often with between-session practice. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from a problem and reframe experiences in ways that open up new choices. This can be useful for issues like trauma memories, identity questions, and recurring patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Conversations at the start will clarify goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. The therapist works collaboratively to adapt methods so they fit the client's needs and daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday or evening routine, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between meetings. It also lets people use brief check-ins when a short touchpoint is helpful rather than a longer appointment.
