About Lauren
Lauren Bunting is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with ten years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Lauren also focuses on attachment struggles, blended family challenges, communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, and self-harm.
She keeps sessions practical and focused on what is happening now. Lauren uses respectful, collaborative conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps people try different ways of responding so daily life feels more manageable.
Her background includes school counseling and clinical counseling roles that span a variety of settings and age ranges. That experience shaped how she supports people dealing with relationship strain and recurring anxiety. In sessions she pays attention to how patterns between people affect mood and behavior.
Lauren draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to notice thinking patterns and change behavior. She also uses client-centered techniques to prioritize the person’s goals and DBT skills for emotion regulation when useful. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term steps toward specific changes.
In practice she works toward clear, achievable goals. Conversations identify small experiments clients can try between sessions. Progress is tracked and adjusted as needs change, so work stays practical and goal-oriented.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear exercises and homework that fit daily life, which can be reviewed in session to track change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and priorities; sessions follow what matters most to the client rather than a preset agenda. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those issues are present.Deciding which approach or combination to use is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to pick strategies that match their goals and preferences. That means checking how an approach feels in practice and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and use focused exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt homework, skill practice, and goal tracking to work in day-to-day life so therapy connects directly to real problems.
