About Lauren
Lauren Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, and career challenges.
Lauren has worked across community mental health agencies, inpatient and outpatient behavioral hospitals, transitional living programs, and schools. That variety means she has experience providing both individual and group therapy in different settings. She has supported people who have faced physical trauma and emotional or psychological abuse.
Her approach is interactive and client-centered. Lauren blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools rather than technical language.
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. For example, she may work on breaking down anxious thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or developing steps to manage addictive behaviors. Conversations often include checking what works and adjusting the plan as needed.
Lauren aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. She helps clients identify small, manageable steps when life feels overwhelming. To start, she asks about immediate concerns, current routines, and what the client hopes to change.
Her background includes work with a wide age range and varied clinical settings, but she practices in Texas. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental conversation and helps people clarify their priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, depressive thoughts, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful for intense mood swings, self-directed crisis, or relationship conflicts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best for the client's goals, current challenges, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and as certain skills prove useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online helps them fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
