About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward, practical guidance and tools that people can use day to day. Her manner is calm and direct, with sessions that blend talk-based work and body-aware practices.
She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for panic, social anxiety, and worry.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles help people name and shift strong feelings that interfere with closeness and intimacy. Lauren uses an integrative approach in sessions. Clients will do some talking, learn breathing and relaxation techniques, and practice actions to test new habits between meetings.
She frames tools as skills people can rely on during stress, grief, life changes, or after trauma and abuse. Her background includes six years of clinical work and training as a 200-hour yoga teacher, which informs her emphasis on attending to the body as well as thoughts and feelings.
She graduated from Regis University in 2014 and has worked in independent practice since then. Clients may seek help with self-esteem, intimacy issues, codependency, body image, career transitions, or parenting-related strains such as fatherhood issues. Lauren also offers coaching-style support for people who want to pursue personal goals and build lasting self-love.
Therapeutic approaches you can do online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify attachment needs and try new ways of asking for closeness, which can help with intimacy and abandonment fears.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking, practice breathing or grounding exercises, and test small behavior changes between meetings to reduce panic and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then propose methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping a steady course toward goals.
