She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach centers on building safety and connection so clients can feel steadier in their day-to-day life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Lauren often draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationships affect emotions and behavior, helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build small steps toward a life that matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if something isn’t working or if priorities change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
