About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, career matters, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and panic attacks.
Lauren blends talk-based methods with body-aware practices and reflective work. Sessions typically combine conversation about current symptoms with exercises that help clients notice physical responses and personal patterns. She uses tools to reduce symptoms and to build everyday skills clients can use after therapy sessions end.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and exploration influenced by Jungian concepts. This mix is used to address relationship patterns, self-worth concerns, and recurring emotional reactions. Lauren frames these methods as ways to make connections between past experiences and present behavior.
Clients can expect practical steps alongside reflective conversations. Lauren describes work that includes quieter body-based practices, focused talk therapy, and attention to personal meaning. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-direction questions.
Lauren trained at Regis University and has been in private practice since 2014. She also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2012 and integrates somatic awareness into sessions when appropriate. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in a way that fits remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients notice how they relate to others now. This is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and improving communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and skills to reduce anxiety and panic attacks.She also draws on client-centered listening to make room for the client's perspective and on emotionally-focused ideas to address strong feelings in relationships. Lauren approaches selecting methods collaboratively - she will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try techniques together to see what fits best.
Confirm session formats before booking since the therapist's biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can be practical for fitting therapy into busy days, allowing shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or study. Talk therapy combined with guided body-aware exercises can be adapted to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and apply them to everyday life.
