Lauren Fawley, LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who holds a master’s degree in community counseling and brings a background in both outpatient and online work to her practice. She spent five years as an outpatient therapist in Phoenix, AZ, and has also worked online for multiple years, which has allowed her to continue supporting people from diverse backgrounds even after relocating away from a major city.

Her clinical experience spans general mental health concerns, addiction, family issues, and a wide range of relationship difficulties. She has supported people in short-term work to navigate major life events or acute relationship challenges, and in longer-term care to manage and recover from depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma or abuse.

Lauren is trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - a state license that authorizes clinical practice - and with a master’s degree in community counseling, she focuses on working collaboratively so that therapy follows each person’s needs and goals. She aims to listen carefully, offer respectful support, and help people build the skills and understanding they need to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and supports the client’s own insights and goals, which can be especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and identity-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by making it possible to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make consistent care easier to maintain while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists.
