Online support

Approach, meaning, and online care

Lauren blends Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods in ways that aim to meet each person's needs. Jungian perspectives look at recurring life patterns, symbols, and personal meaning to help people understand deeper themes that show up in their feelings and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and making space for the person to guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with clients to try different methods and see what fits best for their goals, comfort level, and practical needs. Together they will check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, tools between sessions, or when written reflection feels helpful. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family, or other commitments.
