Approach and online therapy options
Lauren often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to address worries and day-to-day stress. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through concerns and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach is especially helpful when someone feels unsure or stuck and wants practical next steps. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods feel like the best fit based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or busy days while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
