Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Lauren Rich uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the work - this approach helps people clarify values, build insight, and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies; CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, sleep concerns, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, making it a good fit for people managing strong emotional reactions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren collaborates with each person to determine what methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain continuity through life transitions, busy schedules, or geographic limitations while still working toward meaningful change.
