Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you
Lauren integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their values and build self-understanding - it is useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for addictions, commitment issues, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work; Lauren will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting course as progress unfolds. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible options that accommodate busy schedules, geographic limitations, and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and access support without extensive travel, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
