A person-centered supportive approach to being your best you.
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia with over 12 years of experience working as a family preservation worker and therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, addiction, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I have also helped many who have experienced cognitive decline with aging, specifically related to Alzheimer's and Dementia.
My counseling style is supportive and real. I believe in treating everyone with the respect, compassion, and dignity they deserve, always working at their desired pace. My approach combines Person-Centered Counseling and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, where I work to strengthen the therapeutic alliance and focus on an individual's strengths.
There is no better time than now to start living your best life and to your full potential. It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, all that matters is that you start!
I look forward to working with you! Better days are ahead!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lauren is an amazing counselor! Through my time with her she's been extremely patient, thought provoking, and very thorough and her positive outlook has been extremely helpful as well!
I’ve only been in therapy for a very short time period with Lauren, but she has helped me so much in these few days. From the helpful, thought provoking sheets to the quick replies outside of typical hours I already feel like I’m getting a better way to cope with my anxieties.
Lauren has been outstanding during all counseling sessions. She is there to listen, help and guide you in your quest to truly find the greatest version of yourself. I highly recommend Lauren to everyone who is wanting to get counseling.
Lauren has been awesome at helping me learn to cope with a variety of issues, anxiety being the biggest issue of all. After only a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a significant change in the way I approach situations. She takes a personal approach, and is always responsive and timely.
