About Lauren
Lauren Giordano is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks English and works with individuals facing grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find small, useful steps forward.
Lauren uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in the moment.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help clients set workable goals and build momentum. Sessions typically focus on concrete problems such as coping with loss, improving self-esteem, managing chronic illness or pain, and handling relationship stressors like commitment or communication problems. Lauren also supports people dealing with issues related to abandonment, caregiving strain, blended family dynamics, and life changes like separation or divorce.
Her work often blends short-term goal setting with deeper exploration when needed. She helps people develop coping skills they can use between sessions and encourages practical experiments to test new ways of relating and behaving. Practicing in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lauren offers several online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She recommends the format that best fits a client's schedule and comfort level.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Lauren commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and test small behavior changes to reduce stress. CBT focuses on practical exercises and clear goals, which adapt well to video or phone sessions.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and increase calm. These techniques are easy to practice during live sessions and to repeat on your own between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferred pace. That plan can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
