Lauren is great! She provides an environment that makes it feel like you are having a casual conversation with a friend and less with a mental health professional. It allows me to be more vulnerable and open about what I’m feeling and the experiences I’ve had. If there is a lull in conversation, she does a great job asking open ended conversations which takes the pressure off of me trying to think and allows me to feel instead.

More about Lauren
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker from Massachusetts with over 10 years of professional experience. I enjoy working with individuals dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and sexuality issues. I have certificates in Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I'd like to believe I have been successful in this profession for so many years because not only am I compassionate and non-judgmental, I value the importance of the relationship between a counselor and a client. Trust, communication, and empathy are so important in this field and it is important that clients feel validated.
I appreciate the willingness to even browse the website to look for a counselor, it shows you're contemplating the work, which is the first step. Thank you for taking the time to get this far, and I hope that in some way I can be of service to you in helping you get to wherever it is you want to go.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lauren is awesome! She’s a great listener, and I highly recommend her. 5 stars for sure!
Lauren is an incredibly empathetic listener with great wisdom and knowledge, lacking harsh judgement, which helps make me feel comfortable to open up in therapy.
Lauren is awesome!! She helped me through my difficulties and I emerged into a version of myself that I am so proud of. I now allow myself to live life fully as a HUMAN and embrace all of my traits and parts of myself. I highly recommend Lauren's services.
Lauren is really great! She is very patient and helps you hold yourself and others in your life accountable.
Lauren was able to accept me in a really a emotional and tough place and get me to a state of calm. She really helped me identity my own goals and solve problems to stick to those goals. I have had a much better time going through a shocking life changing experience with her support than I ever could have otherwise.
Lauren is awesome! She really knows how to make you feel comfortable and you walk away from every session feeling emotionally, and mentall stronger than when you walked in.
Lauren is a great listener and gives excellent feedback and suggestions!
Lauren has been incredibly supportive as come to appreciate my true self. Her humor puts me at ease. Being more at ease with my female self makes it a little easier to adjust to it and take steps to embrace it. I know that there is still a long way to go, and that have only been "seeing" Lauren for a few weeks, but so far she has been a really positive influence in my life.
She's really great. She makes me feel seen and heard. I don't feel like I need to hold anything back when I speak to her.
Lauren is very supportive, a good listener, and understands my situation and gives great advice based on my needs.
