Lauren Fawley , LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in community counseling and more than a decade of experience in the field. As an LPC she holds state licensure that authorizes her to provide professional counseling services, and her background includes both outpatient work and online practice. She spent five years as an outpatient therapist in Phoenix, Arizona, where she worked with adults from diverse backgrounds, and she also served as an online counselor for over four years, extending her reach beyond a single metropolitan area.

Her clinical experience spans general mental health concerns, addiction, family and relationship difficulties, and a range of long-term and short-term needs. She has supported people through major life events and difficult relationship transitions, and she has helped others manage and recover from depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and substance-related challenges. Lauren is trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, which she draws on to match interventions to each person’s situation.

She approaches therapy from a perspective of belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change, and she directs sessions collaboratively so that work is guided by the client’s priorities and goals. Throughout her career she has focused on listening with respect and empowering people as they move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counseling

Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters most, even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by emphasizing committed action alongside acceptance skills.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies for shifting unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to support change by exploring ambivalence and building intrinsic motivation, which can be especially useful for addictions, lifestyle adjustments, and goal-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Lauren works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
