About Lauren
Lauren Kelly is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, and other life changes.

Background and approach
She blends empathy with concrete strategies so clients leave with steps they can try between visits. Her background includes long-term clinical practice across several states, and she brings that breadth to complicated situations like trauma recovery, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. She uses approaches that help people improve day-to-day functioning and restore important connections in their lives.
In therapy, Lauren listens first and tailors methods to each person's needs. She commonly uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to address mood, sleep, eating, and intimacy-related issues. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help clients move toward specific goals.
Her communication style is honest and approachable, with a bit of levity when appropriate. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your routine
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing each person's story and offering support without judgment. It helps people feel understood and make choices that match their values and goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It teaches straightforward skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD-related challenges.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These practices can help with stress, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences, adjusting as you progress in sessions.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
