About Lauren
Lauren Kelly is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Lauren speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She uses practical strategies and aims to make skills usable between sessions. Sessions often focus on small, realistic steps clients can try right away to reduce tension and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Lauren draws on several therapy methods to match a person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust and understand each person’s goals. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify thinking patterns that feed anger or anxiety and replace them with calmer alternatives.
Mindfulness practices are blended in to support regulation and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Solution-focused work keeps sessions goal-directed and concrete.
Having worked in many states including Alaska and Georgia, she brings a wide range of life experience to her practice. Lauren often frames therapy as teamwork, helping people move from where they are toward where they want to be. She communicates with honesty and a sense of lightness when it’s helpful.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging during weekdays. Lauren will work with each person to set clear, achievable goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. In practice the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name what matters most so sessions stay focused on individual priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Online sessions use simple exercises to spot patterns that feed anger or anxiety and try new ways of responding between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques are easy to learn in a video or phone session and useful when tension rises during daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or homework support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
