Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lauren draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work in ways that feel practical and personal. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the person s priorities lead the conversation - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and improving communication in relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers concrete strategies to manage anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership means approaches can be adapted over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing family, work, or health needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and schedule sessions around busy lives while still working with registered professionals and therapists who provide tailored, evidence-informed help.
