    About Lauren

    Lauren Sletta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She also supports clients navigating LGBT issues and struggles with shame, attachment, and social anxiety. Lauren aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

    She keeps sessions open and nonjudgmental so people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Her approach blends practical skills and thoughtful listening. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thought patterns.

    Lauren also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Dialectical behavior techniques are introduced when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation. She meets each person where they are and helps build small, realistic steps toward goals.

    Expect a calm, straightforward style that focuses on what you want to address. Sessions are a place to name patterns, try new coping strategies, and adjust plans when needed. Lauren encourages collaboration so therapy fits daily life and personal values.

    For someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, she offers steady guidance and practical help. Her work emphasizes clarity, motivation, and developing skills that can be used outside sessions.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify what matters most and to strengthen motivation when goals feel unclear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people notice and shift repeating patterns in relationships.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will listen to your goals and try different strategies together. She aims to tailor sessions so they match your needs, preferences, and pace rather than following a fixed plan from the start.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce time spent traveling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or for sessions that emphasize talking and skill practice without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coping tools to work well in remote sessions, helping people apply what they learn into everyday life.
