- LMHC, LPC
I am licensed in Florida, Idaho, and South Carolina with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also come from an integrative approach that utilizes modalities such as expressive arts, yoga, mindfulness, and ayurveda. My approach to therapy is to look at the whole person. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.

I love Lauren’s holistic approach to therapy and life! She’s a wonderful therapist and is always available to me
I could not have found a therapist more aligned with my needs. Lauren is professional but casual and easy to talk to. She is always ready with helpful tools and considerate of my needs in a 100% judgement free way. She also helps to keep me focused on my goals which is a struggle for me. She is compassionate and her guidance is perfectly attuned to my needs. I have had massive shifts already after only a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend her!
Spent some time with Lauren as my therapist, had to cancel my account, grateful I’m able to pick back up with her a year later. She remembered my stories and situations and was already super helpful after our first session. Looking forward to continuing on and growing more with Lauren and better help!

Lauren is calm and perceptive. She really brings light to what I’m feeling without maybe having the words for it. She always ensures me I can reach out whenever and provides me ways to realistically improve myself and my life. I’m really happy working with her!
Lauren is very patient and sweet. It really helps me to have her support in my life.
Lauren has had positive impact on my thoughts in only 2 sessions!
My therapist is extremely helpful. She listens to me and understands where I’m coming from and my background. She knows how to speak to me and has so much of experience with people who have traumas! She also knows what subject to touch and which one she shouldn’t. She has huge amounts of understanding of someone and helps me to see the positive. I choose better help and I feel I made the right choice! Would I ever recommend better help to someone in need of help in a more professional way? The answer is yes and especially for someone who has been abused. I feel understood for once and I would definitely recommend Lauren as a recommendation for therapy! Thanks to Lauren I’m healing day by day!
Lauren is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, respectful and positive! I appreciate the work she is doing with me!
