About Lauren
She earned a master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University and has worked in community settings, including two years in the Peace Corps. Those experiences shaped her approach to meeting people where they are and building on their strengths.
Lauren has supported people facing trauma, recovery from PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and persistent anxiety. She also helps with low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, and struggles with mood and behavior. Her work covers a wide set of issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, ADHD-related concerns, and caregiver stress.
In sessions she focuses on insight plus practical steps. Clients can expect concrete tools, short-term plans to try between meetings, and goal-focused work. She may offer encouragement and direct feedback when obstacles are getting in the way.
She says the therapeutic relationship matters. Lauren aims to create a space where people can say difficult things without feeling judged. That tone guides how she listens and how she helps clients build confidence and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease anxiety and improve mood. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means exploring what feels helpful and adjusting plans as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also make skills practice more convenient by letting clients try tools between sessions in real-life settings. Discussing format and scheduling will be part of the first steps so sessions support your routine and goals.
