About Lauren
Lauren Jetton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people facing addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and anxiety. She focuses on day-to-day tools that make life easier to manage and on building strengths people can use long after sessions end. Lauren earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University.
Over seven years she has worked in many settings, including a church, local schools, a prison, and in people’s homes.
Background and approach
Those different roles shaped a practical style that fits many life situations. In sessions she draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. That means clients practice new ways of handling thoughts, learn skills to change unhelpful behavior, and try brief exercises to stay grounded in the moment.
She helps people with a wide range of concerns such as grief, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Lauren also supports people coping with chronic illness, codependency, trauma related to domestic violence, and major life transitions. Lauren aims for a warm, down-to-earth tone.
Therapy includes clear goals, simple homework when useful, and steady coaching through hard moments. She welcomes questions and works with each person to pick approaches that fit their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online change
Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress and to practice alternative responses that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adapt techniques based on what works best for you. That partnership makes it easier to try different strategies and adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer therapy work and face-to-face connection. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skills practice, and people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or times when getting to an office is difficult.
