About Lauren

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other life challenges. She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help adults manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship problems. Lauren keeps therapy straightforward and practical so busy parents can fit it into their lives.

Lauren earned a master's degree in community counseling and holds an Arizona LPC license, LPC-14461. She worked five years as an outpatient therapist in the Phoenix area before moving away from the city.

Background and approach

For the past several years she has worked in online counseling, continuing to support people from diverse backgrounds. Her day-to-day work includes short-term support for big life moments and longer-term care for ongoing issues like depression, trauma, and addiction. Sessions are collaborative - clients set priorities and the therapist helps chart the path forward.

Lauren uses clear, skills-based tools that people can practice between visits. She is trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to improve coping, communication, and emotional regulation.

The goal is steady progress toward the changes each person wants. Lauren aims to listen without judgment and to help people feel understood. She focuses on respectful, practical work that fits daily family life and parenting demands.

If someone wants calm, doable strategies and steady support, Lauren offers that steady approach from her Arizona practice and online sessions.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where someone wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative - adjustments are made over time so the plan stays relevant to family life and parenting demands.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options can make it easier to connect around childcare, work, and other commitments. The format also lets people use skills between meetings and keep continuity of care when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
