About Lauren
Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She has worked in both the U.S. and the U.K. and combines that background with a practical, down-to-earth approach. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable from the start.
Lauren focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. She also helps people navigate career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Background and approach
Her work covers issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and coping with life transitions. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches that match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking and try small behavior changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relational patterns that repeat across relationships. Lauren takes a collaborative, client-centered stance.
She listens first, then works with each person to set goals and try practical steps. Sessions tend to focus on real-life changes a person can test between meetings rather than long explanations. Her experience includes school counseling and bereavement work, which informs how she supports people through loss and life shifts.
Lauren tailors pace and techniques to what each person needs, aiming for clarity and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments to change daily routines and mood. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and sticky habits that affect relationships or work.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action even when strong emotions get in the way. ACT supports coping with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions by emphasizing meaningful steps rather than emotion avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions stay practical and relevant to your needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in scheduling and format. Video calls let you hold longer, face-to-face conversations; phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins and weekly reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment routines while using approaches that help with relationships, trauma recovery, and coping with change.
