More about Lauren
- 20 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I bring over two decades of compassionate mental health experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth with empathy and understanding.
I specialize in addressing social anxiety, communication challenges, and issues of isolation and loneliness. My approach focuses on fostering self-love, exploring life purpose, and supporting individuals as they work through feelings of guilt and shame. I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can develop meaningful coping strategies and build emotional resilience.
My therapeutic work is deeply committed to understanding each person's unique journey. I strive to help clients develop stronger self-awareness, improve interpersonal skills, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Together, we'll explore your strengths and work collaboratively towards healing and personal transformation.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
