About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who centers mindfulness in her work. She brings a calm and grounded style to sessions and guides people through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. Lauren also helps with grief, career questions, self-esteem, trauma and life transitions.
She blends breath- and body-focused practices with talk therapy. Sessions focus on noticing what is happening in the moment, learning tools to reduce distress, and building habits that support long-term wellbeing. Lauren describes therapy as a place to understand symptoms and fit them into a clearer life story.
Lauren trained at Regis University and has been in private practice since 2014. She also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2012 and brings that somatic perspective into her work. Over six years in clinical practice she has developed programs that emphasize empowerment and ongoing personal development.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening alongside mindfulness and cognitive approaches. That mix is used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, codependency, communication problems, and recovery after sexual assault or domestic violence.
In sessions she combines relaxation techniques, conversational therapy, and reflective ritual work. Clients are encouraged to take small, practical steps between sessions and to practice skills that help them navigate everyday challenges.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy is about learning present-moment awareness and simple practices to calm the body and mind. It can help with anxiety, stress, and recurring negative thoughts by teaching short exercises you can use daily.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. It focuses on noticing patterns, improving emotional communication, and building more secure ways of relating to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what feels helpful and adjust the plan over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family demands. It also lets people practice mindfulness and grounding skills in real-world situations and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
