About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Her focus includes anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship and parenting concerns.
She talks plainly and works with people to set clear goals and manageable steps. Lauren began her career in a community mental health agency. There she saw how poverty, addiction, trauma, and ongoing stress affect daily life and family patterns.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her interest in helping people who juggle work and family demands. She has over nine years of work with young adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her style is warm, empathetic, and goal oriented.
She blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify problems and make practical changes. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful for managing stress and building awareness. Lauren has a particular interest in supporting people who are newly engaged or new parents.
She helps them navigate the intense highs and lows of those seasons and develop routines that reduce overwhelm. She is also open to discussing spirituality when it matters to a person. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College.
Outside work she balances life with her spouse and understands the challenges of working parents.
How Lauren’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions let the therapist follow a person’s lead, reflect concerns, and help set goals in a collaborative way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often includes homework and clear tools that can be reviewed in video or text sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and practical needs during early sessions and then try approaches that match those priorities. Choices can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working or if new issues arise, and the client helps guide that process.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make scheduling more flexible. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief questions, quick reflections, or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life and continue steady progress.
