Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Licensed Counseling or Therapy care with Lauren LPC-S:
- What's the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist?
- Lauren, an LPC-S, provides talk therapy. Psychologists have doctorates and may also provide therapy and testing. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. For most people needing therapy, a counselor is a great first step.
- What actually happens in a therapy session?
- A typical session with Lauren involves a safe and confidential conversation where you share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She will listen without judgment, offer new perspectives, and help you develop coping skills and strategies. This collaborative process focuses on your goals and needs.
- My partner and I are struggling with communication. Is this something you can help with?
- Yes, couples counseling is a core service offered at my practice. It provides a safe space for partners to address communication challenges and work through conflicts. Lauren can help teach effective communication skills, navigate disagreements, and rebuild connection and understanding in the relationship.
- I'm dealing with a recent loss. Can counseling help with grief?
- Yes. Grief is a natural process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Lauren provides a compassionate space to process the complex emotions of loss, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate the journey of grieving at your own pace.
- My work life is incredibly stressful. Is that a valid reason to seek counseling?
- Yes, significant work stress is a completely valid reason to seek counseling. Work-related stress and burnout are very common reasons people seek help, and Lauren can assist you in developing strategies to manage stress, set healthy boundaries, improve work-life balance, and prevent burnout.

- CBT is a common and effective type of talk therapy where Lauren helps clients identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's a hands-on approach teaching practical skills to manage issues like anxiety, stress, and depression.
- How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
- Lauren's family therapy focuses on the family as a system, looking at how family members interact and influence each other. Individual therapy, in contrast, focuses on one person's thoughts and feelings. The goal of family therapy is to improve family dynamics, resolve conflicts, and enhance the overall functioning of the family unit.
- Do I have to have a major 'problem' to go to counseling?
- No. Lauren works with people of all backgrounds and experiences, not just those facing a crisis. Many seek therapy for personal growth, relationship improvement, stress management, or simply to process life changes in a supportive environment. It's a proactive step toward mental wellness.
