Approaches that guide online sessions

Lauren draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. Solution-focused methods center on identifying small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals and are useful for stress, life transitions, and goal-directed work. Trauma-informed cognitive behavioral methods help people understand how past events affect current thoughts and behaviors and offer tools for managing anxiety and PTSD symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one way fits everyone. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps most.

Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and provide quicker check-ins when needed. Different formats can also allow for shorter, focused sessions or longer weekly work depending on what fits a person’s schedule and goals.
