Are you going through a season of change that feels heavier than you expected? Maybe you’re grieving a loss, experiencing a relationship shift, or simply feeling anxious about what's ahead. These emotions can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. My name is Lauren, and I help adults move through life with more clarity. My clients often come to me during times when “normal life” suddenly feels unfamiliar. Together, we slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and build tools to help you become grounded and empowered again.

You may be struggling with pornography addiction or compulsive sexual behavior that feels difficult to control despite sincere efforts to stop. Many clients experience anxiety, shame, secrecy, or growing relationship problems and wonder why willpower alone hasn’t been enough. You want relief, clarity, and real change—not just temporary control. More than anything, you want to understand your behavior, feel emotionally grounded, and rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships.

We all experience seasons of difficulty, struggle, and loss. Sometimes these moments come from childhood, when we had no control, and sometimes they occur in adulthood, leaving a lasting impact. These experiences can shape our beliefs about ourselves—making us feel not enough, too much, or unworthy—and influence how we see the world.

Parenting is hard sometimes. Maybe your child struggles getting out the door for school or argues when you ask them to help out. Maybe they follow you around the house (hi, anxiety!) or have a hard time making and keeping friends. Whatever it is, you are tired and can no longer take this on alone. I use a developmentally appropriate, evidence-based approach that helps children build new skills while equipping parents with practical strategies that fit real life.

Pre-Licensed Professional, LPC-A
Dallas, TX 75204
I primarily work from a person-centered framework. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship strongly and believe patients are the experts in their own lives. I don't believe it is my job to act as an expert on my patients, but that I come in as an expert in creating a safe space for them to explore and get in touch with their true self. I integrate CBT and mindfulness techniques as well when helpful, especially with individuals struggling with anxiety or depression.

You read the books. Talked to your friends. Prayed. Journaled. Tried to think your way into feeling better. You're still not sure who you are outside of the roles you carry. When people ask how you are, you talk about work, your family, everything you're juggling. When they ask who you are, you go blank and feel uncertain. Somewhere along the way you became everything to everyone else and put yourself at the bottom of the list. People-pleasing has become such a norm, it causes you to abandon yourself. Often thinking "Am I enough?" Let's work on reconnecting with yourself and strengthening your boundaries.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in recurring patterns—relationship conflict, communication issues, anger, anxiety, or the sense that something needs to change. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive, and are looking for practical support that actually helps them move forward. I commonly help with couples therapy and relationship issues, anger, sadness and emotional regulation, burnout in helping professionals, family conflict, career transitions, and the impact of a loved one’s substance use. I also work with individuals navigating religious trauma or faith deconstruction.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
