About Lauren

Lauren Anzelone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy parents and young adults. Lauren draws on a few straightforward methods to help clients set goals and practice new ways of coping.

Lauren has been involved in social work since 2003 and holds a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University.

Background and approach

Her clinical title is Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she has about three years of experience in clinical settings. She has spent much of her career supporting people affected by trauma, depression, mood disorders, and parenting challenges. She often helps people dealing with relationship strain, compulsive or addictive behaviors, self-esteem concerns, and the lasting effects of abuse.

Lauren also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, postpartum depression, and young adult concerns. She brings a strengths-based, collaborative style to goal setting and problem solving. In sessions Lauren uses Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches to match the work to the person.

She emphasizes clear steps clients can try between sessions. That might mean practicing a new communication skill, testing an unhelpful thought, or creating a plan for calmer responses. Clients can expect a warm, practical partner who helps them find small, doable changes.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and flexible care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client's pace. The therapist follows the person's lead, validates their experience, and helps them identify goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Deciding which method to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try an approach, check progress, and adjust as needed so the work fits the person's life and needs.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals while balancing family, school, or work commitments.
