Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren brings several evidence-informed approaches to online work, tailoring them to each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand connection and repair relational wounds, making it useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and build more adaptive routines.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and bodily reactions related to traumatic experiences. It is often chosen when past events continue to interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions.
