Lauren Hawkins, LPC

Lauren Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, and anger. Lauren also has experience with career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to attachment and abandonment.

She earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University and has provided both individual and group therapy across many settings. Those include community mental health agencies, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health hospitals, transitional living programs, and schools. That range means she has experience with short-term crisis care and longer-term therapeutic work.

Lauren’s counseling style is interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on skills rather than long lectures. She draws on client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, and elements from solution-focused work to help people change unhelpful patterns.

In therapy she talks through practical steps clients can use between sessions. That might include behavioral experiments, new communication skills, or mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings. She helps people sort what’s causing stress and builds manageable strategies for coping.

Those who are worried about anger, recurring resentment, or getting overwhelmed at work or home will find straightforward, skills-based work here. Lauren helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and track small changes over time.
