About Lauren
Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Lauren focuses on practical steps people can use right away when things feel overwhelming.
Her sessions typically look at patterns that keep problems repeating. She and the person work together to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Then they try small, manageable skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Lauren draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She uses these approaches to teach emotion regulation, build problem-solving skills, and increase present-moment awareness. Sessions mix discussion with concrete exercises someone can practice between meetings.
She pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape current struggles, including attachment and abandonment concerns. Lauren also addresses issues like caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and the impact of divorce or separation on daily life.
People seeking help for panic attacks, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, feelings of emptiness, guilt, or isolation can expect a focused, skills-oriented process. Her aim is to help people clarify goals and try realistic steps toward more stability and control.
How Lauren’s approaches work for online sessions
Lauren uses evidence-based techniques that are easy to explain and practice in virtual meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills; these tools help when feelings are intense or relationships are difficult. Mindfulness-based techniques train attention to the present moment and simple body awareness, which can reduce rumination and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She reviews what helps, adjusts methods, and adds practical exercises to try between sessions so progress is measurable and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins when needed, and select a setup that feels most manageable for regular work. Licensed professionals can deliver the same conversation-based and skills training techniques online as in person when both parties agree on the plan.
