Lauren is really good at picking up on things that I don't specifically say. I like her catching me and noting small positive things that I say/do. It is really easy to talk to her. She gives me links to appropriate "homework." She is very present in our sessions. I feel like I usually have her full attention.

Hi there! My name is Lauren (she/her) and I specialize in adolescents and adults with anxiety disorders, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), and depression, among other life stressors. I have been in the mental health field since 2015 and have been a licensed therapist for 4 years. I have been trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ERP (exposure and response prevention), and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) informed therapy. My approach is holistic and person centered in nature. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and identity affirming care. My job is to support, guide, motivate, teach, coach, and follow you on your mental health journey. Above all else, I want to provide you with warmth, validation, and a safe place to be “not okay”. 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.
