01About Lauren
Lauren Bunting is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, and low mood. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at helping people make changes that fit their lives.
She brings ten years of counseling experience, including work in schools and clinical settings. That background shaped her skills working with relationship challenges, blended family issues, and communication problems.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing panic, mood disorders, and episodes of self-harm by building coping tools step by step. Lauren uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to make people feel heard, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and solution-focused steps to set small, achievable goals.
These methods are chosen to fit practical problems and real-life constraints. In sessions she focuses on clear communication skills and healthier ways to relate to others. She helps parents and individuals navigate family problems and attachment concerns without making assumptions about family structure.
Work often includes identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and tracking progress over time. Therapy with Lauren is a partnership. Clients set goals that reflect their values and daily life.
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, build coping strategies, and improve communication so people can feel more balanced and confident.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online counseling
Lauren blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people facing anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Client-centered therapy means the conversation centers on what matters most to the person and builds a respectful, listening space. Cognitive behavioral therapy examines thoughts and behaviors, then teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match methods to needs, whether the focus is emotion regulation, better communication, or short-term problem solving.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video lets people see facial cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
