Online options and therapeutic methods
Lauren offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to connect with clients across Florida. She adapts remote formats for both individual and group work, maintaining the same clinical focus she brings to in-person settings.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy is used to help identify practical goals and small, manageable steps a person can take between sessions. This approach centers conversations on what is working and stretches toward concrete change rather than detailed problem histories. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides a structured way to address traumatic memories and the thoughts or behaviors that maintain distress; it incorporates gradual processing alongside coping skills to manage reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when mood instability or relationship patterns are central concerns. prospective clients who prefer collaborative, goal-oriented work and skill-building often find these approaches align with their needs. Remote connections are available via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
