She works with young adults and adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.

Clients can expect a direct, collaborative approach that emphasizes problem-solving and skill practice. Lauren draws from trauma-informed and client-centered ways of working to guide conversations and plan steps forward. She favors straightforward explanations and practical exercises over abstract theory.
Her background includes a dozen years of work in clinical settings supporting adults through transitions and emotional distress.

How evidence-based approaches are used online
Lauren works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and processing difficult experiences. One common orientation she draws on is trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past distress affects current reactions and develops steps to reduce reactivity and overwhelm. This approach is useful for post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and lingering responses to hurtful events.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize collaboration and clear goal-setting. That means sessions typically involve defining small, achievable targets, practicing concrete coping strategies, and reviewing progress together. These techniques are often helpful for anxiety, mood regulation, and improving self-esteem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lauren will discuss options with each client and adjust methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative: techniques are tried, evaluated, and changed as needed so the plan fits the client’s life.
