Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed or unsure why they are stuck. Lauren works with clients to notice patterns in thoughts and behavior.
Background and approach
Together they identify practical shifts that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Lauren draws on several approaches to match the work to the person. She blends existential ideas about meaning and purpose with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories and motivational interviewing to support change. Her background includes 15 years of clinical experience and practice as an LCSW in Pennsylvania and Maine. That experience includes supporting people through grief, chronic illness, caregiving strain, relationship difficulties, and immigration and acculturation stress.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress. Lauren helps clients develop coping skills, improve sleep and self-esteem, and navigate career or midlife transitions. The work aims to help people feel more aligned with their values and better able to handle life’s challenges.
She welcomes conversations about where someone is starting from and what they want to change. The first steps are a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits each person’s needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren often uses Existential Therapy to help people look at meaning, values, and life purpose. This approach encourages reflection on what matters and can help when someone feels disconnected or facing major life questions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and improving daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy is another common element in her work, teaching attention and breathing skills that reduce stress and create calmer responses to difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lauren works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel demands.
