About Lauren
Lauren Fehlberg is an experienced counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She brings 13 years of practice in Australia and works with people facing grief, parenting challenges, depression and issues with eating and self-esteem. Lauren uses practical conversations to help people find small changes that make life easier.
She encourages mindful breathing and simple actions you can try between sessions. Sessions are calm and direct, aimed at building coping skills rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques. She also uses Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools when they fit the person's needs. These methods are used to address panic, social anxiety, self-harm urges, and problems with guilt or shame.
People may come with practical problems like communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, or loneliness. Lauren helps them sort priorities and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. She also supports those dealing with body image, forgiveness, life purpose and young adult issues.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to help people build resilience and clearer direction. Lauren holds AASW in Australia and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward chosen values; it often helps with anxiety, avoidance and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and teaches practical exercises to reduce panic, social anxiety and depressive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and help with emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time choice, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions let people use visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or skills practice between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
