About Lauren
Lauren Gusman is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical change.
Her approach is direct and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, concrete steps that move things forward.
Clients can expect clear goals and short-term tools they can practice between sessions. Lauren works with parents on parenting challenges and assists young adults navigating early adult life. She also addresses communication problems, dissociation, gender dysphoria, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm concerns when relevant to an individual.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and observable changes rather than long, open-ended talk. Sessions typically include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and review of what did or did not work. Progress is measured by concrete shifts in day-to-day routines and mood.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Online CBT sessions use structured conversations and short exercises to spot thinking patterns and try concrete behavioral changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. Practicing these skills between sessions helps people notice triggers and choose different responses in the moment.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate goals and small steps. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those strengths with brief, doable actions that fit into everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. They may combine techniques and adjust plans as progress is observed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so techniques can be tested between sessions.
