Lauren Fawley, LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She has 12 years of counseling experience and works with people at different stages, whether they need short-term support during a life change or longer-term care for ongoing struggles. Lauren writes in a straightforward, respectful manner and centers sessions on each person's goals and needs.

She holds a master's degree in community counseling and has practiced in both outpatient settings and online. Much of her earlier work was done in Phoenix, Arizona, where she supported people from a wide mix of backgrounds. More recently she has continued that work through remote sessions while living outside a large city.

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to help people clarify their values and set practical steps toward them. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness ideas are other tools she brings into sessions when they fit the client’s needs.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgment and to collaborate on a plan that makes sense for each person. That plan might include short skills practice, focused problem-solving for a specific situation, or ongoing work to manage mood, cravings, or trauma reactions. Lauren values clear goals and small, manageable steps toward them.

She offers help in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lauren practices in Arizona and works with adults who want a respectful, practical approach to their concerns.

Approaches and how they translate to online sessions

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors; this approach often involves short exercises and homework you can do between sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them and take small, value-guided steps forward. Client-centered work is part of her style too, meaning she focuses on listening and adapting to each person's priorities rather than following a fixed agenda.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as things change. That gives space for brief problem-focused work or longer-term skill building depending on what the client wants.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or shorter exchanges, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
