About Lauren
Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or major life changes. Lauren aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk, reflect, and find clear steps forward.
Her style mixes practical skills with thoughtful reflection. Sessions often begin by naming patterns that keep someone stuck and then testing small changes to see what helps.
Background and approach
She uses techniques that address thoughts, emotions, and body awareness so people can manage panic attacks, obsessive worries, or low self-esteem in daily life. Clients work on concrete coping tools such as breathing and grounding, emotion regulation skills, and problem-focused plans for handling family conflict or role strain.
Lauren also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, helping people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. The work is steady and collaborative rather than directive or rushed. She supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the confusion that follows divorce or separation.
Therapy can also focus on life purpose, loneliness, and caregiver stress when those pressures build up. Lauren helps people move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and routines they can use between sessions. She invites clients to try small changes, notice what works, and build confidence over time.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Lauren often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful ones through small behavioral experiments. This approach is useful for panic attacks, obsessive thinking, and anxiety that gets in the way of daily tasks.She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help when strong emotions lead to impulsive reactions or when relationships feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. Sessions usually begin with concrete goals and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when discussing sensitive material is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, mood tracking, or quick coping reminders possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a day and to practice new skills in the moments they are needed.
