Lauren was the first therapist I've ever spoken to so I was intimidated at first, but she was always so supportive and understanding of everything I talked to her about. She really was the best first introduction to therapy I could have ever asked for.

More about Lauren
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am an LPC in the state of Texas. I have been in the field of mental health for the past year doing work from local mental health authorities of intensive clients, probationary clients, and out-of-home placements. I have been working with youth and their families for the last 4 years and a wide range of adults since 2016.
I received my bachelors degree in 2014 at Texas State University in Psychology with a minor in Communication Studies to which I then proceeded to complete my masters degree in Counselor Psychology from Texas A&M- Kingsville in 2016. During my masters, I completed two thesis for presentations at two difference psychological associations for Stereotype threat and Morality Salience. My goal at the end of my research was to prove that when someone is in put in the face of adversities, we will prevail and succeed, which I proved to be true!
My approach to therapy is heavily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I do included techniques from DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention), Solution-focused, and Person-centered as well. In each session, I like to use my knowledge of each therapeutic technique to fit each client the best and work towards the goals they seek to complete. The art of therapy is to feel welcomed, non-judgmental, and working towards a better version of yourself to which I hope I can be a part of. I look forward to working with you on your journey!

About online counseling

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lauren was the first therapist I've ever spoken to so I was intimidated at first, but she was always so supportive and understanding of everything I talked to her about. She really was the best first introduction to therapy I could have ever asked for.
Lauren have been awesome. she listens well and gave a lot of help. She always check in on me even when it wasn't my session Lauren is great i'm glad i had her.
She is awesome, if you are on the younger side this is the therapist for you. She understands that sometimes things aren’t black and white and sometimes you really just need a person to listen in a non judging way!
Lauren is an amazing counselor and I can't recommend her enough. When I began working with her, I was nervous that I wouldn't know what to say and was worried that she'd think my issues weren't bad enough. Instead, I felt comfortable right away. She asks really good questions that make you think then listens to your responses and helps you reframe them into something more positive that helps you move forward. Lauren is an asset to Better Help!
Very sweet and nurturing, but doesn't get complacent with information that is withheld. Wants to genuinely know what you think and get on the frequency of your thought process.

It works. If you try. And Lauren is pretty fantastic too! I wouldn't be where I am without her.
She is amazing and incredibly lovely. Easy to talk to and very trustworthy. Love love love!
Lauren was the best thing for me; I was in a really rough spot and i couldn't find my way up. She showed me how to see myself and see the world in a better view and I'm so happy i finally did this for myself. If you're thinking about it, don't. Just get a Lauren and feel better!
