About Lauren
Lauren Jetton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She uses straightforward, practical steps so clients can begin feeling more in control. Lauren aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy lives.
She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. Over seven years she has worked in church settings, schools, correctional facilities, and in clients' homes across her community in Louisiana.
Background and approach
Those varied settings gave her experience with many kinds of life challenges. In sessions she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to address symptoms and day-to-day struggles. She also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when they fit a person's needs.
Lauren helps people practice concrete skills, try small experiments, and notice what matters most to them. Common concerns she supports include grief, bipolar mood issues, stress, relational and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with attention difficulties and complex situations involving trauma, chronic illness, or codependency.
Lauren describes therapy as a team effort. She listens, offers gentle feedback, and helps people set practical goals. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on small, sustainable changes.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it teaches small, value-driven steps rather than trying to stop thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. It works well for mood shifts, panic, and everyday worry. Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment with curiosity. It helps reduce reactivity and build steady coping skills for ongoing stress or trauma symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to your story and collaborate on which methods to try first. Together you set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for learning new skills and working face to face; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging works for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options aim to make it easier to keep appointments, practice skills between sessions, and get consistent support.
