How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online
Lauren often combines Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from the problem and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can be useful for stress, depression, and identity concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, which helps with intimacy, communication problems, and fear of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering empathy and reflection to support self-directed change.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is seen or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video works well for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, coaching-type work, or days when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy schedules or life transitions.
