About Lauren

Lauren Cooper is a licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. Lauren speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to help people tell and rethink the stories they carry about themselves. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and DBT skills when helpful to manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety or panic.

Background and approach

EMDR may be used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Lauren keeps sessions collaborative. She works with each person to set goals and choose approaches that fit their needs.

That means building skills for emotion regulation, improving communication patterns, and examining family of origin or attachment wounds when those come up. Her additional focus areas include body image, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, gender dysphoria, and guilt or shame. Lauren also supports people facing life purpose questions, jealousy, forgiveness work, and panic attacks.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging from Indiana. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Online session options

Narrative and skills-based care delivered online

Lauren uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape how they feel about themselves and their relationships. That work focuses on separating the person from the problem and finding new, more helpful meanings for difficult experiences.

She also uses client-centered methods that put the person's goals and perspective first, offering steady listening and reflection as the foundation of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are blended in when tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes will reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lauren will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they'll try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working through emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat or text messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions or support people who prefer typed communication.
