Lauren Latham

Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She trained initially in the United Kingdom and later completed a master’s degree in counseling at West Virginia University. Lauren draws on many years working in bereavement support and school settings before focusing more on adult clients. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals for change. Sessions tend to focus on building skills for everyday problems like managing stress, improving communication, and coping with grief. Lauren uses a mix of commonly used therapies to match each person’s needs. She often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings and act on their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for breaking unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods guide how she builds connection and trust in sessions. People come to her for relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also addresses practical issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, anger, and isolation. Her style is warm, respectful, and straightforward. Lauren focuses on small, achievable steps and helps people track progress. She encourages honest conversation about what’s working and adjusts the plan as needed.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action guided by personal values. It is often useful for life transitions, grief, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical for mood concerns, anger, and problem-solving in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current behavior and trust. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and suggest which methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels right for the person. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not possible. It can also make it simpler to work on issues like communication, coping skills, and managing daily stress without rearranging an entire day.
