About Lauren
Lauren Giordano is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and works with adults who are coping with major life changes. Her approach is practical and conversational so parents and busy people can fit therapy into their lives.
Lauren uses everyday language in sessions and helps clients name problems and spot patterns in their stories.
Background and approach
She often uses Narrative Therapy to look at how life events are remembered and told, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people calm racing thoughts and stay present. Clients can expect short-term goals alongside deeper work when needed.
Solution-Focused methods are used to identify small, manageable steps toward change. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about a next move. Lauren has spent nearly two decades working with people facing relationship disruption, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and the fallout from abuse or abandonment.
She also supports those dealing with body image, communication problems, and the stress of blended family dynamics. She practices in Florida as an FL LCSW. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Online session options
How narrative work and practical tools translate online
Lauren often blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps identify alternate narratives that support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple grounding and breathing practices that reduce rumination and improve focus. These approaches are chosen to match a person’s goals and challenges, and Lauren works together with each client to decide what to try first and how to adjust over time.
Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy routines. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and quick check-ins during a hectic week.
The mix of approaches and flexible formats makes it possible to try techniques, revisit strategies, and build habits without traveling to an office. Lauren helps clients pick the formats and methods that best match their schedule, goals, and comfort.
