Evidence-Based Approaches, Delivered Online
Lauren Mengedoht, LCSW, draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address concerns like relationship stress, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clients in identifying emotions more clearly and using them to create healthier patterns of connection, which can be especially helpful for relationship and attachment-related concerns.She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and experimenting with new skills that better align with a client’s goals. In addition, her training in somatic and experiential methods, including Hakomi, can help clients tune into bodily cues and internal experiences, building greater awareness and steadiness during stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not worked before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the tools and pace to fit those preferences and goals.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support with flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so clients can choose the format that best fits their schedule and communication style.
