Lauren Krall, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Lauren

Lauren Krall is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, addictions, mood disorders, and challenges like ADHD and self-esteem. Lauren uses a practical, down-to-earth style and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

She draws from several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in naming and shifting emotional responses that affect relationships and closeness. Lauren also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns influence current reactions and connections. Sessions are guided by a client-centered stance, which keeps the person’s goals and values in the lead.

The work is collaborative - she talks with clients about what feels most useful and adjusts as needed. Her background includes a master’s degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania earned in 2008, and state licensure obtained in 2011. Lauren describes therapy as a team effort and focuses on creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken without judgment.

Practical options for connecting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for online work with emotional and relationship concerns

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. It often includes practical exercises clients can try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift strong emotional responses that affect closeness and communication. In online meetings this can mean naming feelings, tracking patterns in interactions, and practicing new ways to connect during real-life moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to choose methods that fit. This collaborative process means techniques are adjusted as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let clients fit sessions into busy schedules and continue work from home or while traveling. The variety of options supports different needs - some people prefer face-to-face video, others like the brief interaction of chat or text for check-ins.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
