About Lauren
Lauren Gusman is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and young adult issues.
She has a history of helping parents and individuals with parenting concerns and child behavior challenges, while also addressing family problems and communication issues. Lauren also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, gender dysphoria, dissociation, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, and questions about identity and self-esteem.
Her sessions are straightforward and focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and try practical steps between appointments. Conversations are aimed at making small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
Clients can expect to talk about what is happening now, what has helped before, and what could work next. She draws on her years working with youth and families to provide clear guidance around parenting and family conflict when that is relevant.
Lauren keeps things practical. She helps people set short-term goals, try new coping skills, and adjust approaches when something does not fit. The emphasis is on useful tools and concrete progress rather than jargon or long theoretical talks.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is good for anxiety, mood problems, and stress because it breaks things down into clear steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to strong emotions. That can help with anger, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the conversation. She will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust the plan based on goals and what feels useful. The process is collaborative and focuses on practical strategies that match your life and priorities.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only sessions for lower bandwidth or less screen time, while others choose video to use visual cues; discuss options when you schedule so sessions fit your routine and needs.
