About Lauren
Lauren Cooper is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Lauren aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find small changes that add up.
She uses a client-centered way of working so the person sets the pace and the goals. That means sessions focus on what the client wants and need, not a fixed script.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding in daily life. Lauren combines narrative work to help people tell their story differently and EMDR methods when trauma memories get in the way of moving forward.
For people overwhelmed by strong emotions, she brings in DBT strategies to teach coping skills and stabilize intense moments. Sessions aim to be practical and hands-on. Her practice covers a range of concerns including grief, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, panic and many anxiety-related problems.
She also addresses attachment struggles, body image, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin issues among other focus areas. Lauren has five years of experience and works with people across different life stages. Clients connect with her from Indiana and sessions are offered in English.
She encourages a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and progress is reviewed often.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and personal goals. In online sessions, that means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set realistic steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions are linked and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. CBT online often uses homework and short exercises that fit into daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Online DBT-style work can include practicing breathing and grounding techniques, and breaking big problems into small, doable steps. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and will review progress together as therapy moves forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options are meant to make scheduling simpler and to fit therapy into real life.
