More about Lauren
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a counselor licensed in Virginia with over 6 years of experience in outpatient therapy.. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relationship issues, phases of life issues, grief, and trauma.
My counseling style is warm and interactive and I implement an integrative approach. I recognize that there is no "one size fits all" approach to one's mental health journey. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will encourage an open dialogue and transparency during sessions so I can implement specific interventions and techniques you are the most comfortable with. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, DBT, humanistic, and expressive arts therapies. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
