Lauren Porter

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York State with primary experience working with adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood instability, addiction and both childhood and adult trauma.
My counseling style is empathetic and sincere. I believe in treating anyone with respect, compassion and a lack of judgement. In my work I utilize a combination of a cognitive-behavioral, compassion focused and psychodynamic approach. I believe the client is the center of therapy and plan to work with you in addressing the concerns you present. Together we will work to identify challenges you experience, barriers you are facing and work to develop effective and healthy coping skills.
I will be available through a variety of modalities throughout this journey together so that we can find a way to best meet your needs and goals. I am looking forward to working with you and seeing what we can help you accomplish together!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make an impact. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One of the primary advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit.
