About Lauren
Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with thirteen years of clinical experience. She practices from West Virginia and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Lauren focuses on clear goals and practical steps so people can manage day-to-day challenges more easily.
Lauren trained first in the United Kingdom and later completed a master’s degree in counseling from West Virginia University. She has experience in bereavement support and school counseling and has worked in different settings in the U.S. and the U.K.
Background and approach
Her background gives her a mix of perspectives on coping with loss, life transitions, and relationship strain. Her work includes addressing relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Lauren also helps people who are dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, impulsivity, isolation, and mood difficulties.
She uses concrete strategies so conversations lead to manageable changes. In session she relies on several familiar approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Lauren aims to tailor the conversation to a person’s strengths and goals rather than force a specific model.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on what will help in everyday life. People who want clear steps, steady support, and a respectful, nonjudgmental therapist often find her approach helpful. Lauren emphasizes listening first, then building a practical plan together.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person’s lead to build insight and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits real life rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or messaging can be useful for short updates, homework questions, or when writing is easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and changing commitments.
