Lauren Greeley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings 18 years of social work experience to her clinical work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Lauren speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are when they reach out for support.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients name clear goals. Sessions focus on what is making life harder now and on small steps that can feel doable between visits.
Lauren uses a mix of methods to fit different needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize each person's values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are brought in when people need tools for emotion regulation and staying present.
She also incorporates motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, whether that means improving relationships, addressing self-esteem, or coping with loss. Lauren has helped people facing parenting strain, career transitions, trauma, grief, and multicultural stressors.
Therapy with Lauren aims to be collaborative and steady. People can expect straightforward talk, specific strategies to try between sessions, and adjustments over time based on what is and isn’t working.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to each person's story and shaping sessions around their values and goals. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in decisions about what to try next.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and situation. That choice can change over time as needs evolve and progress is made.
