A person-centered supportive approach to being your best you.
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia with over 12 years of experience working as a family preservation worker and therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, addiction, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I have also helped many who have experienced cognitive decline with aging, specifically related to Alzheimer's and Dementia.
My counseling style is supportive and real. I believe in treating everyone with the respect, compassion, and dignity they deserve, always working at their desired pace. My approach combines Person-Centered Counseling and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, where I work to strengthen the therapeutic alliance and focus on an individual's strengths.
There is no better time than now to start living your best life and to your full potential. It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, all that matters is that you start!
I look forward to working with you! Better days are ahead!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lauren is an amazing counselor! Through my time with her she's been extremely patient, thought provoking, and very thorough and her positive outlook has been extremely helpful as well!
I’ve only been in therapy for a very short time period with Lauren, but she has helped me so much in these few days. From the helpful, thought provoking sheets to the quick replies outside of typical hours I already feel like I’m getting a better way to cope with my anxieties.
Lauren has been outstanding during all counseling sessions. She is there to listen, help and guide you in your quest to truly find the greatest version of yourself. I highly recommend Lauren to everyone who is wanting to get counseling.
Lauren has been awesome at helping me learn to cope with a variety of issues, anxiety being the biggest issue of all. After only a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a significant change in the way I approach situations. She takes a personal approach, and is always responsive and timely.
