Therapeutic Approaches and the Benefits of Online Work



Lauren commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients to explore their feelings and values, which can help when addressing self-esteem, relationship concerns, or life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for managing anxiety, panic, and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and history, then tailors interventions accordingly. Over time the therapy plan can be adjusted so the approach fits evolving needs and produces meaningful progress.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, caring responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options allow consistent contact, easier scheduling, and the ability to continue work through important life changes while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
