Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren combines cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking while clarifying personal values. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or depression. ACT encourages noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck and committing to meaningful actions that match your values.She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current reactions and communication. That approach supports people who want to improve trust, emotional closeness, or patterns that recur in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods might help. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as needed.
