About Lauren
Lauren Anzelone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws on client-centered methods that put the person's goals first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice patterns of thought and try small, manageable behavior changes.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Lauren has three years of experience as an LCSW and several years of earlier work supporting children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities in community settings. That background shaped her interest in adoption and foster care issues, parenting challenges, and behaviors linked to autism or mood disorders.
Sessions typically focus on building skills for coping with panic, trauma, substance concerns, low self-esteem, and relationship stress. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for people in demanding roles. Lauren aims to make sessions collaborative so clients leave with small, clear steps to try between meetings.
Her approach is practical and strengths-based. She listens for what matters most to the person and tailors tools to their situation. People who want straightforward strategies and a hopeful, faith-informed perspective may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the person, and helps them choose the next steps that feel right. This approach works well for anxiety, self-esteem, and life changes because it starts from the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing supports someone who feels stuck by exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation to try new strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans along the way. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides choices about techniques and pacing.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options help people access consistent support while fitting therapy into a busy life.
