About Lauren

Lauren Giordano is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and people coping with life changes. Sessions are in English and she practices in Florida.

Lauren uses several practical approaches to help people change patterns that began in childhood and family life. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used to build calm and increase noticing of difficult feelings.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people tell and revise the stories they carry about themselves. Solution-focused strategies are used for concrete steps and quick changes when that fits the person’s goals. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about making changes.

Her work addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, body image and issues around commitment and communication. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, aging or the fallout of divorce and separation.

In session, Lauren talks through patterns, practises skills, and helps set small experiments to try between meetings. She explains options plainly and collaborates on what to try next. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit life

Lauren frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety. CBT offers concrete skills for changing reactions and is often used when someone wants step-by-step practices for daily life.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques are practical tools people can use during hard moments to steady breathing and reduce overwhelm.

Motivational interviewing is another approach she draws on to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. This method focuses on clarifying values and strengthening reasons to move forward in manageable steps.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize over time.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people incorporate therapy into everyday life without promising a particular service.
