About Lauren
Dr. Lauren Serdencuk is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies to manage anger, stress, anxiety, and addiction.
Her approach centers on helping people take small, doable steps toward change. She uses client-centered work to build trust and understand each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to reduce reactivity in the moment. Her background includes a PhD and a history of working with people facing depression, trauma, and chronic illness. Over the years she has supported those coping with grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, career strain, and caregiver stress.
That experience shapes a flexible, goal-focused style. Sessions tend to be focused and collaborative. The therapist likes to set clear, practical steps people can try between visits.
Progress is measured by what changes feel meaningful in daily life. Many clients come for help with impulsivity, anger, substance use, and communication problems. Others seek support for self-esteem, life transitions, or ADHD-related challenges.
The work often blends short-term problem solving with longer-term skill building. Dr. Serdencuk offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps identify goals that feel important to the client. It works well for building trust and deciding what to work on first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT includes practical exercises such as tracking triggers for anger, testing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between sessions. This approach is useful for anxiety, anger management, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity. Short guided breathing or grounding exercises can be done during video or phone sessions and practiced afterward to help with stress and impulse control.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and work with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape a plan that feels doable.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and role-playing. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
