Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona who holds a master’s degree in community counseling and brings twelve years of clinical experience to her work. She has been providing online counseling with Betterhelp for over four years. Before focusing on telehealth, she spent five years working as an outpatient therapist in the diverse city of Phoenix, AZ, and now practices remotely so she can continue supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds despite no longer living in a major city.

Her clinical experience centers on working with adults across general mental health concerns, addiction, family conflicts, and relationship issues. She has supported people in short-term work to navigate major life events or difficult relationship transitions, and in longer-term therapy to manage and recover from depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and abuse.

She believes strongly in each person’s capacity for growth and change, and she approaches therapy as a collaborative process directed by the individual’s unique needs and goals. Lauren is trained in several evidence-based approaches – motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy – and integrates these methods to fit the client’s situation.

She emphasizes that anyone entering therapy will be treated with respect and that conversations are held in confidence. Grateful for the opportunity to listen to people’s stories, she focuses on understanding and empowering those she works with. Lauren welcomes inquiries from prospective clients and would be glad to explore whether her approach is a good fit.
