More about Lauren
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcoholism and Drug Counselor in New York with over 20 years experience. I am capable of providing services with both adolescents and adults and have had a wealth of experience. I have helped individuals with in the full spectrum of mental health diagnoses, victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other traumas. I am also familiar with the LGBTQ+ community and the challenges they may face.
I am first and foremost a straight forward individual. I will answer any questions an individual has about their treatment and work with them to set their own treatment goals. I don't go into a session with an agenda, the client comes first so whatever they feel they want to discuss or disclose is their choice completely.
Because I have had such a wide range of experience through out my career, never worry there will be something that you can't disclose. I will never judge you for any of your experiences or choices, and look forward to helping you in any way that I can.

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.
