How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience so the therapist and client shape goals together. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practices new habits in small steps. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and learning concrete skills for everyday life.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment one step at a time. It is often used when someone is working through addictions or finding motivation to try new coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needs change.
