About Lauren

Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with six years of clinical practice. She uses clear, practical strategies to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, life transitions, or past trauma. Sessions focus on simple, doable steps and on understanding how thoughts and body sensations affect daily life.

Her style balances support with gentle challenge. She draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to guide the work.

Background and approach

Together with each person she looks for patterns that keep problems going and builds practical coping tools to interrupt those cycles. Krolick pays attention to emotions, relationships, and the small habits that shape a day. She helps people manage panic, obsessive thoughts, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.

She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and problems with communication. In sessions she focuses on skills that can be used right away, such as grounding, thought restructuring, and emotion regulation. The conversation is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Her aim is to help clients gain clarity, reduce distress, and find better balance in daily life. Lauren works in English and practices in New Jersey as LPC 37PC01167600. Her approach is adaptable to different needs, and she helps each person choose strategies that fit their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice new responses to reduce anxiety and break compulsive cycles.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for handling intense feelings, managing panic, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Mindfulness-based practices are part of the mix too. Simple breath and grounding exercises help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness for people dealing with stress or trauma symptoms.

Picking the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as goals change.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to keep consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and get regular support without always needing an in-person visit.
