Lauren Sletta , LPC

Lauren Sletta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with seven years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with clients across a range of concerns, including depression, LGBTQ-related issues, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. Lauren emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly and explored with compassion.

Clients meet a clinician who values collaborative work and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. Lauren supports each person through thoughtful listening, reflection, and evidence-informed techniques tailored to individual needs and goals. Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and she acknowledges the courage that requires while offering steady guidance and encouragement throughout the therapeutic process.

Whether someone is seeking relief from anxiety, healing after relational or traumatic experiences, or greater self-acceptance, Lauren aims to create a respectful space that fosters insight, growth, and meaningful progress.

Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Lauren draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and adult relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. This approach helps people understand relationship dynamics, improve closeness, and address attachment-related anxiety or avoidance.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and meeting the person where they are. This approach supports self-discovery, self-worth, and emotional processing by prioritizing the client's perspective and pacing.

Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and social fears. CBT offers practical skills for managing symptoms and testing new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren collaborates with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care over time so techniques align with what feels most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel barriers, and maintain continuity of care. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and in how clients choose to engage in their healing work.
