About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, career issues, and coping with life changes. Lauren uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
She works from a mix of approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered talk therapy. Sessions generally pair discussion with exercises designed to change thinking and behavior. Lauren also draws on emotionally-focused and Jungian perspectives when those views fit a person's goals.
Her work emphasizes skill-building and concrete strategies. That can mean practicing new communication habits, learning tools to manage panic or social anxiety, or identifying thought patterns that keep stress high. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, family of origin concerns, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse.
Lauren trained at Regis University and has a background that includes yoga teacher training. She incorporates breath and body-awareness practices alongside talking therapy when clients want that. She describes part of her role as coaching people toward clearer goals and stronger everyday coping skills.
People who choose her often want structured, hands-on tools they can use between sessions. Lauren asks about current life demands and priorities, then focuses on small, doable changes. If someone wants to explore how beliefs, attachment patterns, or emotions shape their relationships, she blends those topics into session work.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize thought patterns, try different responses, and practice new behaviors between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into concrete steps.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current communication and intimacy. That approach helps people understand triggers and build clearer ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy is part of her work too, which means sessions include active listening and collaborative planning to set goals and priorities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to a single technique. This helps match practical tools to the person’s day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use body-awareness or breathing practices without travel. Licensed professionals often use these strengths to keep therapy practical and schedulable around work and family demands.
