About Lauren

Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a holistic approach to therapy. She blends talk therapy, body-focused practices, and spiritual perspectives to help people build confidence and cope with life changes. Lauren aims to teach practical skills that people can use after sessions end.

She frames issues like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self esteem in the context of a person’s life story. Sessions combine techniques to calm the body, focused conversation to shift thinking, and ritual or reflective practices to connect with personal meaning. These tools are presented as ongoing skills rather than one-off fixes.

Lauren has worked in independent practice since 2014 and has about six years of clinical counseling experience. Her background also includes completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2012, which influences how she blends movement and breath work with counseling. She describes her work as encouraging empowerment and self-knowledge.

Her stated focus areas include relationships, intimacy-related issues, family concerns, trauma and abuse, career transitions, and coaching around goals and personal growth. Additional topics she notes are body image, codependency, attachment wounds, panic, and sexual assault recovery.

People who choose Lauren can expect a mix of practical coping strategies and reflective practices aimed at strengthening self-love and personal agency. She frames therapy as a collaborative process meant to help people step into changes they want to make.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current reactions. This approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship-based anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and partnering with the person to follow their priorities; it supports building self esteem and self-love by centering the person's own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques may be mixed and adapted over time so sessions match what the person is trying to change.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also let a person continue therapy while living in a different place, which is useful for those who accept international clients. Ask about specific formats and scheduling when you set up the first appointment.
