About Lauren
She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what they can handle. Lauren uses clear, everyday language and listens for what matters most to each person.
Her approach draws on several methods to fit different concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding and acceptance from the therapist. Internal Family Systems and mindfulness practices can help people notice internal parts and calm the body when memories or stress feel overwhelming.
Lauren has worked across settings for over a decade, supporting people through life transitions such as divorce and separation, postpartum changes, and fertility struggles. She also addresses attachment, blended family issues, and problems tied to a person’s family of origin.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, follows their lead, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage moment-by-moment stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, concerns, and what feels comfortable. She adapts methods over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuing work through major life changes when leaving home or commuting would be difficult. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the Start Therapy matching questionnaire so sessions match daily routines and preferences.
