How her approaches translate to online care

Lauren often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is practical and action-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can support clients dealing with grief, chronic pain, or ongoing stress by improving awareness and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend methods to try. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
