Lauren is an amazing listener. She takes the time to listen and ask questions that provide deep thought into the appropriate progression of an issue or feeing. She remains sensitive to my spiritual growth and consistently provides positive feedback in that manner as well. I’m very thankful I was matched with her as my counselor.
More about Lauren

I enjoy supporting individuals and families to walk whatever path they are on and to assist them in discovering new ways to help themselves improve their lives along the way. Assisting individuals to become happy, healthy, and empowered is a passion of mine. Growth is a beautiful thing to witness and an honor to see that growth first-hand.
I have been providing counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2016. Working in an inpatient psychiatric facility has allowed me to gain experience with different areas of mental health.
My experience has taught me of the importance to tailor my approach to what best serves my clients' needs and help them achieve their goals. In that regard, my approach in sessions may vary to include the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, a Family systems approach, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and/or Solution-focused strategies.
I have experience working with individuals coping with mood disorders (depression and anxiety), stress management, self-esteem, family issues, life transitions, and grief/loss. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, your child/adolescent and your family in meeting your counseling needs. I look forward to seeing where the counseling journey takes us. Take those first steps today!
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology from Texas A&M Kingsville in 2014 and Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2016. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas.

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.
