About Lauren

Lauren Liss is a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut with 27 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady support as they take the first steps toward change.

Lauren draws on a long background in healthcare to guide practical, real-world problem solving. She helps people build skills for managing strong emotions, coping with loss, and reducing reliance on alcohol or other substances.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, concrete steps that fit daily life. People who work with her can expect a calm, matter-of-fact approach. Lauren listens to each person’s story and helps identify behaviors and habits that get in the way of feeling better.

She then offers tools and strategies to practice between sessions. Her experience includes supporting those who face chronic pain, illness, or disability, and people caring for others under stress. She also assists with workplace issues, communication problems, money worries, and major transitions like divorce or midlife shifts.

Lauren believes taking the first step takes courage and treats that step with respect. She invites people to tell their story, learn new skills, and move toward clearer choices about their life and well-being.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Lauren lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Lauren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One common method involves teaching practical coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing work, pacing activities, and breaking problems into smaller steps that feel doable. This approach helps when symptoms feel overwhelming and daily life needs immediate tools.

Another useful technique centers on relapse prevention and behavior change for addictions. That work looks at triggers, builds alternative habits, and creates stepwise plans to reduce harmful use while strengthening supports. It is helpful for people who want concrete strategies and measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s life. Adjustments are made as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for full sessions and visual cues, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins fit well with chat, and text messaging is handy for ongoing prompts or quick reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue progress between in-person commitments.
