About Lauren
Lauren Fehlberg is an AASW social worker with 13 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, grief and major life changes. She helps clients untangle overwhelming thoughts and find practical ways to cope. Lauren aims to make sessions straightforward and hopeful for people seeking clearer direction.
She combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work. That means she helps people tell the story of their life, notice values that matter, and repair patterns in close relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small steps people can take between meetings. Lauren also uses cognitive behavioural and mindfulness tools to manage panic, low mood, and social anxiety. She teaches breathing and grounding techniques, and helps clients set achievable goals.
Parents and caregivers often come for support with stress, burnout and body image concerns. Her approach is conversational and pragmatic. Conversations are paced to suit the person in front of her and to fit real life obligations.
People leave with skills they can use day to day and clearer ideas about what they want next. Lauren practises in Australia and runs video, phone, chat and text-based therapy. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online session options
Narrative and evidence-based approaches for online therapy
Lauren uses Narrative Therapy to help people re-author the stories they carry about themselves and their relationships. This approach suits people stuck in repeating patterns or who want to see their life from a different angle. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, helpful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for improving communication and reducing isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and tailors methods to the person sitting across from her. That collaboration means techniques are chosen to match what the client needs and can use between sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and lifestyles. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing reflections and people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, study and caring responsibilities.
