How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Lauren draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test alternative responses. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that target patterns contributing to anger, mood, and anxiety.She also uses mindfulness-based practices to increase awareness of emotional triggers and bodily signals. These techniques aim to create space before reacting and can help with sleep, stress, and interpersonal tension.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals and daily life. She adjusts strategies based on what helps reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
