About Lauren
Lauren Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 10 years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues tied to family of origin and parenting. She also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, ADHD, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder.
Her approach blends practical strategies and reflective conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.
Lauren also integrates Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to focus on how early family patterns affect current relationships. In sessions she pays attention to roles people learned growing up and how those roles show up now. Conversations focus on concrete examples from daily life and practical ways to try something different.
She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. That can include short, skill-based exercises to practice between sessions. Her work combines talk and exercises so people leave with specific steps to try.
Lauren asks straightforward questions and listens for patterns that link past family experiences to present problems. She invites clients to set clear goals and to experiment with new ways of relating, coping, and making choices. To start, clients complete a short intake and schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It often involves simple exercises to clarify priorities and practice actions that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and uses practical experiments and homework to test new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early family roles and expectations influence current relationships and helps people try out different ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make sense based on goals, current concerns, and what feels doable. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing skill practice, reflection on family patterns, and goal-focused steps.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation while others choose phone for a quicker check-in or lower bandwidth. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life without adding extra burden.
