About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and other life changes. Sessions can include practical goal-setting and short-term coaching for career or compassion fatigue-related strain.
Lauren began her career in a community mental health agency. That work shaped how she views the effects of poverty, addiction, trauma, and ongoing stress on individuals and family dynamics. She later spent many years supporting young adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and everyday life pressures.
Her work uses client-centered principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That combination supports setting specific goals, noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying new responses. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes used to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity.
Lauren is open to discussing spirituality when clients want to include it in sessions. She also draws on her experience helping people adapt to becoming engaged partners or new parents and to juggling work and family demands.
She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a master's degree from Milligan College. Lauren is a Tennessee LPC and describes her practice as goal-focused and client-centered. The practice emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions.

How Lauren applies CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness online
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on specific goals, practical exercises, and testing new ways of thinking or acting to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective and goals. That approach means sessions often begin with the client's immediate concerns and move toward concrete objectives the client wants to reach. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of bodily sensations and emotional reactions, which can help with stress, trauma responses, and anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and problems shift.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-in meetings when that suits the client, and remove travel time. It also allows sessions to focus on homework, skill practice, and problem-solving that people can apply between meetings.
