Lauren Latham, LPC - Therapist in West Virginia

About Lauren

Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with over 13 years of experience. She trained in the United Kingdom and later completed a master’s degree in counseling at West Virginia University, with study in both clinical mental health and school counseling. Lauren blends that background into thoughtful, practical care for families and parents.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set clear, realistic steps for change.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, usable skills people can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel like a helpful conversation rather than a lecture. Lauren draws on several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action.

Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationship patterns and family dynamics. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need support finding reasons to change. She has a broad background supporting concerns such as relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, grief, low self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Additional focuses include communication difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, impulsivity, and divorce or separation. Sessions are offered in English and are open to international clients. Lauren adapts plans to each family’s needs and often combines short-term problem-solving with deeper work on patterns that repeat across relationships.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions focus on practical exercises and brief skill practice you can use at home to handle stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change those patterns. In remote sessions CBT often includes worksheets and step-by-step behavioral tasks to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current family interactions and communication. This approach helps identify recurring dynamics and develop new ways of relating during virtual sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as the process unfolds. That collaborative planning makes it easier to switch focus when new needs come up.

Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let families fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. Remote sessions also make it possible to keep continuity of care across locations and to practice skills in the places where problems happen.

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.

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.
