Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Lauren often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable change. Solution Focused Brief Therapy zeroes in on what a person wants to be different and identifies small, practical steps to get there; it is helpful for stress, relationship goals, and workplace problems.

Trauma Focused-CBT addresses the thoughts and behaviors that follow traumatic events and teaches coping skills to reduce symptoms over time; it can help with anxiety and post-traumatic stress reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can be useful for intense emotions, communication problems, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's life and priorities.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types and scheduling options so you can choose what fits your routine.
