About Lauren

Lauren Sletta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Lauren aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and realistic.

Lauren keeps sessions straightforward and client-centered. She creates a space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her and on practical next steps between sessions. Her approach draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are offered when helpful to manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thinking. Lauren works in a calm, collaborative way. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.

Sessions balance reflection with concrete exercises you can try between meetings. People often come to her worried about shame, guilt, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or trouble with intimacy and self-love. Lauren supports each person in finding clearer direction and more consistent coping skills.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lauren directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment-focused work fits online

Lauren draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. That can reduce shame and open up new possibilities for relationships and self-worth. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren aims to learn your goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands and then suggest methods that fit. She checks in regularly to adapt techniques so they match what helps you most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share thoughts in writing and can suit people who prefer communicating that way. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
