    About Lauren

    Lauren Rich is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, ADHD, and work-related strain. She brings a direct and empathetic style to conversations and focuses on practical steps. Lauren has experience with first responder and military cultures and with high-stress careers.

    Her approach is straightforward. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and small, doable steps. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and uses Client-Centered skills to keep the focus on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

    Lauren has worked for 16 years in settings that include military, law enforcement, sports performance, and executive coaching. That background informs how she talks about workplace pressures and performance expectations. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, disaster-related stress, and veteran and armed forces issues.

    Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused. People can expect a plan that fits their life and a mix of talking and skill practice. Lauren pays attention to signs of burnout, panic, and process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behavior.

    Work together, she says, starts with small steps and real-world changes. The emphasis is on finding what works now and adjusting as needed.

  2. How Lauren’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore readiness for change. It helps people weigh pros and cons and build motivation for steps they actually want to take. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities so goals come from the client rather than the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining motivational conversations with skill practice from CBT or adding DBT-style coping tools when emotions feel intense.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and reduce travel time so appointments are easier to keep. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. A typical online process can still include goal setting, short skill-building assignments between sessions, and regular reviews to see what’s working.
