About Lauren
Lauren Petrocelli is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Lauren also supports those coping with major life changes and career concerns.
She has experience working with people living with disabilities and chronic health issues. Lauren helps clients talk through motivation and confidence struggles. She also addresses trauma, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue as described in her background.
Lauren uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big, vague plans.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques to help people change patterns that keep problems going. That can mean finding different ways to respond in tense moments, testing new behaviors between sessions, and noticing how thoughts affect mood.
Lauren aims to make therapy accessible for people navigating illness, disability, or sensory differences. She pays attention to practical barriers and adapts pacing and tools to fit each person’s rhythm. The result is a straightforward partnership that focuses on what will make daily life less stressful and more manageable.
How sessions work
How Lauren blends CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work online
Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so you can test small changes and see what works in daily life.She also brings mindfulness practices that teach noticing bodily reactions and thought patterns without getting swept up in them. These skills can help reduce reactivity and give more choices in tense moments. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her work as well, keeping sessions goal-oriented and focused on practical steps that produce visible progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pacing, combining exercises, and checking in on what feels useful.
