She is amazing.

Reviewed November 2024

Lauren is a talented therapist. She listens, is fully present, follows up via message, reminds me about mindfulness strategies we have discussed. She is knowledgeable and shares byte sized YouTube videos that explain tricky concepts in communication and parenting that I can practice to get better outcomes. Many times she stays beyond the time with me to wrap up the topic of that discussion. Highly recommend Lauren.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’ve only had a handful of sessions with Lauren but in those sessions she has supported me, let me talk with no judgement, let me cry. She isn’t just a great listener she is also giving me tips and tricks to help with my anxiety. I highly recommend her and Better Help.

She is very gentle, and never pushes me to do anything I don’t like or want. My first language is Spanish and for me is perfect because sometimes I don’t know how to say something in English, I really like the opportunity to switch between one language to the other one.
