About Lauren
Lauren Krall is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, addiction, mood changes, and self-esteem struggles. She aims to make the first steps less scary and to build practical ways forward together.
Lauren keeps sessions straightforward and direct. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals.
Background and approach
She uses everyday language to help people understand what they can try between sessions. The work often includes learning new coping skills and practicing different ways of handling hard conversations. Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and emotionally-focused work.
That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, centers the person's perspective, offers tools for changing thoughts and behaviors, and helps regulate strong emotions. Sessions mix talking, skill-building, and small experiments to test what helps. Lauren trained at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and has been licensed since 2011.
She brings years of experience across addiction, trauma, intimacy, and attachment concerns. Her style is collaborative - she treats therapy as a team effort and helps people weigh options and make plans that fit their life. People who choose her can expect practical steps, calm guidance, and a focus on real-life change.
She works in English and provides sessions through several online formats to match different needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships, name what they need, and practice new ways of relating to others.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavioral experiments, and build new coping habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Emotionally-focused ideas guide people to understand and shift strong emotions in relationship situations. This can help with intimacy struggles and with repairing connection after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then choose methods together. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, caregiving, and day-to-day life.
