About Lauren

Lauren Krall, LPC, helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and attachment. She also supports people dealing with addictions, self-esteem struggles, eating and body-image concerns, career stress, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and major life changes.

Lauren trained at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and earned a master’s degree in 2008. She became a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor in 2011 and has 17 years of work experience. Her background includes helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma, and attachment-style concerns in a direct, practical way.

In sessions she uses an approachable, team-based style. Lauren draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and elements of solution-focused work to set concrete goals. Conversations aim to be straightforward, with skills and small experiments to try between visits.

She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. Lauren invites people to take gradual steps, practice new habits, and reassess what’s working. She encourages collaboration so the plan reflects each person’s needs and day-to-day life.

If someone wants a therapist who combines practical tools with attention to feelings and relationships, Lauren offers that mix and will work with them to find a path forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current trust, closeness, and fears. It often helps with intimacy worries and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client’s priorities so sessions feel driven by what matters most to the person. This approach supports building insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Lauren treats therapy as a team effort and will help clients try methods that match their goals and daily life. If one technique doesn’t fit, she will adjust plans and suggest different tools so the process stays useful and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a short break. Some formats also let people use audio-only visits when video is difficult, or shorter sessions for quick skills practice. Discussing practical preferences at the first meeting will help shape a plan that works with each person’s routine.
