To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Lauren works in English and practices under her New Jersey LPC credential.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lauren uses cognitive behavioral approaches in simple, hands-on ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. This helps with anxiety, panic, and obsessive thoughts by turning abstract worries into concrete steps to try between sessions.

She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. These techniques offer specific tools for calming intense feelings, managing conflict, and coping with relationship stresses like codependency and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. The plan can change over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so that skills can be practiced between meetings and tracked over time.
