I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years experience supporting people through life transitions. I have 5 years experience as a nursing home administrator, gaining unique skills in organizational management and leadership in healthcare. I am licensed in Maine and Vermont, recently transitioning from the New England Seacoast to the Green Mountains. I support clients through various life changes, coping with grief and loss, career difficulties, & executive and professional coaching. I have extensive skills supporting elders and their families as they navigate health related challenges, grief and adjustment issues. I have experience supporting those navigating relationships, coping with family struggles and divorce, pregnancy loss and improving self esteem. I have a holistic perspective and genuinely believe that clients have the answers within to live their most successful life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
She is really great. She makes me feel heard and that it's ok to open up.
Lauren listens, is calm and supportive, and offers valuable insight during our sessions.
Lauren is the first therapist I’ve had in years that genuinely hears what is needed to be worked on, WHILE listening and acknowledging your feelings and needs. She is amazing at what she does and always has constructive feedback
A great therapist and person. Has helped me out a lot with affirmations, coping techniques and understanding
I've worked with Lauren now about 2+ months and can highly recommend her. I was going through a big transitional shift in my life and really needed some guidance. She continuously reminded me that releasing emotions during the sessions was healthy and she allowed me to be vulnerable. She has made me realize how caring and taking care of myself can really help me show up in a better way for my friends, family, and partner. Every session I have had with her has been extremely insightful. I feel that a lot of the changes/shifts I made during my time with Lauren were not that difficult/stressful to implement. Changing some thought patterns and habits felt easy with Lauren's guidance. I am so grateful for Lauren and I'd highly recommend her to anyone else seeking help!
Lauren is a patient and compassionate listener. She excels at helping her clients address root causes of the challenges they face. I felt that it was easy to be honest with Lauren when discussing my challenges and stressors, and that no issue I brought up would be deemed too small.
Lauren is a wonderful listener and she has some great tools to help process and move past hard emotions.
Genuine and supportive!
