    About Lauren

    Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She trained in the U.K. and later completed a master's in counseling at West Virginia University, holding dual degrees in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling. Lauren now focuses on adult clients and brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions.

    She aims to make therapy practical and relatable. Sessions focus on specific goals like improving relationships, managing grief, or handling life changes. Lauren uses clear conversation to help clients spot patterns, try small changes, and build new habits.

    Her background includes work as a bereavement counselor and several years as a school counselor. That range of settings shaped her ability to listen and to adapt methods for different needs. She draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

    Lauren emphasizes collaboration and respect. She helps people name what matters most and chooses strategies that fit daily life. The tone in sessions tends to be warm, direct, and focused on practical steps.

    Clients often come for help with relationship strain, family issues, trauma and abuse, coping with major life changes, grief, self-esteem concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Lauren also addresses related themes like attachment issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

  2. How Lauren’s approaches translate to online work

    Lauren draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ready to make a change. That approach uses guided conversation to build motivation and clarify next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and communication patterns.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. She discusses options with clients and adjusts strategies based on feedback and progress.

    The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins during a work break, or let someone choose an audio-only session when bandwidth is an issue. Licensed professionals can use these practical advantages to make therapy more manageable and consistent.
