About Lauren

Lauren Jetton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people make real changes. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Lauren speaks plainly and helps clients set clear goals they can work toward between meetings.

She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. Lauren has seven years of experience providing care in many settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in churches, public schools, correctional facilities, and community-based home visits. Those varied settings shaped her flexible, down-to-earth approach. Lauren draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

She uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when they fit a person's needs. Sessions often include skill teaching, practical problem solving, and gentle exploration of painful experiences. Areas she addresses include grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and burnout, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

She also works with issues such as communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and domestic violence recovery. Lauren practices in Louisiana as LPC 6870. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps forward so people leave sessions with something to try.

Her style is supportive and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients regain a sense of control and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them, even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental support and reflection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions remain relevant and effective for the individual's situation.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow flexible scheduling and shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use therapy from home or another convenient place while still working on the same evidence-based skills and steps they would cover in person.

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.
