About Lauren
Lauren Cooper is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who uses Client-Centered Therapy as the foundation of her work. She invites people to bring what feels messy and difficult and offers a calm, accepting presence while they talk through painful feelings. Lauren emphasizes teamwork in sessions so goals come from the person seeking help.
She has five years of clinical experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. Lauren also helps individuals facing abandonment, attachment issues, body image struggles, codependency, and panic attacks. She supports people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, dissociation, and the aftermath of domestic violence.
Lauren combines Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. She also uses Narrative Therapy and EMDR as ways to address traumatic memories and the stories people tell themselves. In sessions she aims to match methods to each person’s needs rather than follow a fixed plan.
She works with children and adolescents ages 5 to 17, young adults, and individuals connected to biological, foster, adoptive, or chosen family systems. Lauren notes evening appointment times are when she is available, and she asks people to confirm session options before booking.
If someone is ready to begin, the typical first steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Lauren frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on small, steady changes and clearer direction.
How client-centered work and tools translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and working together to set goals. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches simple skills to interrupt unhelpful thinking and try different actions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and panic symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to lean on client-centered listening, CBT skills, DBT strategies, or a combination.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
