About Lauren
Lauren Cooper is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, body image, and relationship patterns tied to attachment and codependency.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods to help people notice patterns in thought and behavior. Sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different responses. Lauren also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and EMDR-informed ideas for trauma when appropriate.
In a session she talks through specific problems and practices new habits together. Expect short, actionable techniques to try between meetings and time to review what worked. The approach is collaborative and practical, not focused on abstract theories.
Her background includes work with a range of trauma and identity-related concerns and several years helping people manage panic and chronic worry. She names and works with issues like abandonment, dissociation, family of origin problems, and guilt and shame in clear, stepwise ways.
Lauren offers structured sessions that emphasize skills practice, thought records, and narrative reflection when helpful. People who prefer direct, practical work that targets thoughts, emotions, and behaviors will find this approach straightforward. If unsure about session options, confirm current formats before scheduling.
How CBT, DBT, and Client-Centered Methods Work Online
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions usually include clear steps - tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses - which translate well to online meetings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can lead what they want to work on; online sessions use that same approach to set goals and priorities together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are practiced in session and reviewed afterward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process includes checking what helps, adjusting methods, and agreeing on practical tasks to try between appointments.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can help fit sessions into busy days. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online meetings make it straightforward to use worksheets, thought logs, and skill coaching during a session, and they can be shorter or more focused when needed to fit a break at work or other commitments.
