Background and approach
Lauren has provided outpatient services in Phoenix, Arizona, and later shifted to online work to reach people beyond a single city. Lauren uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, sleep, and emotion regulation. Sessions focus on the goals each person brings. Some people seek short-term help for a specific life event or relationship problem.
Others use therapy over time to manage depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, or grief. Lauren aims to meet people where they are and build plans that fit their day-to-day lives. She works with concerns such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, eating and sleeping issues, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Lauren also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and health-related worries like cancer or fertility challenges. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lauren emphasizes collaboration, respect, and practical steps so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
How Lauren's approaches work online
Lauren often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that match personal goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT provides practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building new routines that improve mood, sleep, or addiction-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may mean trying a few techniques and keeping what helps most.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for quick updates, ongoing encouragement, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether someone needs weekday evenings, quick check-ins during a break, or a regular weekly hour.
