About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a warm, goal-focused style to sessions. She describes her way of working as client-centered and empathetic, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use right away.
Lauren began her career in community mental health, where she learned how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other stressors affect daily life. That work gave her a close view of how individual struggles can ripple through relationships and routines. She has significant experience supporting young adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also enjoys working with people adjusting to major life changes, such as new engagement or new parenthood, and supports clients aiming for clearer goals and healthier routines.
Lauren uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation, combining it with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set realistic goals. She brings mindfulness practices into sessions when helpful, and she is open to discussing spirituality with clients who want that included.
Lauren earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. She lives in Tennessee with her husband and often draws on her own experience balancing work and family when helping clients find workable strategies.
How these approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what’s important, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem by making room for each person’s values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses simple experiments and practice to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it breaks problems into concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions can shift over time, weaving together client-centered listening, CBT techniques, and mindfulness tools as goals change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options that work around work and family schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
