Lauren Krolick

Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and helps them make changes at a steady, realistic pace. Her work focuses on practical steps rather than jargon, so clients leave with tools they can use right away.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then experiments with different ways to respond. That might look like trying a new coping skill, testing a thought, or practicing a short mindfulness exercise together.

Lauren often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and the strain of life changes. She also addresses self-esteem concerns, relationship communication problems, and issues tied to attachment, abandonment, or codependency. Divorce and separation are listed among the topics she helps clients navigate.

Sessions focus on concrete goals and step-by-step progress. Lauren uses clear language and a calm, direct style that balances warmth with honest feedback. She helps people build everyday habits that reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control.

Clients can expect an individualized plan that draws on evidence-based tools. Work may include skill practice, perspective shifts, and tracking small successes. The goal is improved coping, clearer decision making, and a more manageable daily life.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Lauren draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with mindfulness-based techniques added in. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Mindfulness techniques teach brief attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and support grounding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust strategies as needs change, so therapy stays focused and practical.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then discuss what did or did not help at the next session.
