About Lauren
Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Lauren aims to create a calm, steady space where someone can feel heard and begin to make small, real changes.
Her style balances support with gentle challenge. She draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try out practical coping tools that fit their daily life. Lauren often works with people facing life changes, parenting strain, or complicated endings like divorce and separation. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and issues around guilt, shame, and isolation.
Sessions focus on clear steps and usable skills rather than long explanations. Her work includes help for panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and chronic worry. She pays attention to how the body and mind interact and uses that awareness to shape coping strategies.
The goal is steady progress toward more balance and purpose. Lauren structures therapy to match each person’s needs and pace. She offers straightforward tools, regular check-ins on what is or isn’t working, and a plan people can use between sessions.
This practical approach is meant to make changes manageable and lasting.
Practical approaches for online care
Lauren uses several evidence-based methods in plain, usable ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try new, testable alternatives for less anxiety and stronger routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers solid skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness-based techniques focus on simple awareness of thoughts and sensations to reduce reactivity and support calmer choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods if something isn’t helping. Sessions include regular check-ins so the plan stays relevant to changing needs and preferences.
Online formats provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter, frequent touchpoints and can help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use techniques in the moments they matter most.
