About Lauren
Lauren Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah who uses mindfulness-based practices to help people manage stress and anxiety. She keeps therapy direct and practical, aiming to make sessions feel understandable and manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive approaches are used when patterns of thinking and behavior get in the way of daily life. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns or early hurts keep resurfacing.
Lauren adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. She focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people build skills for coping, self-esteem, and motivation. Sessions are paced to the client’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Over roughly a decade of practice, she has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and chronic illness. Lauren also addresses specific themes like abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, and codependency.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then works with the person to set goals and try practical techniques. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier with steady support and clear, doable tools.
How mindfulness and acceptance ideas fit into online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations without getting pulled into them, which can reduce overwhelm and make it easier to respond rather than react. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and chronic pain by teaching short, practical exercises that can be used between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them even when difficult feelings appear. It can be useful for depression, motivation problems, and life transitions by guiding concrete actions tied to what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotions. It can support people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment themes, and parenting strains by helping them notice interaction patterns and try new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, talk about goals, and suggest which methods to try first, adjusting plans as progress is made. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make practicing skills between sessions more convenient for daily routines.
