About Lauren

Lauren Czachor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at parents and caregivers looking for clear support and real tools.

Lauren uses straightforward methods to address overwhelming emotions and behavior patterns. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and workable for the person in front of her.

Background and approach

She mixes skills training with problem solving so people can try changes between meetings. Her background includes work with a range of issues such as depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, bipolar symptoms, and attention challenges.

Lauren brings targeted experience with substance use and post-traumatic stress as part of her practice. Clinically, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, with a subscription model that can be canceled any time. Lauren practices in Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English.

How CBT and DBT translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot thoughts and routines that worsen stress or anxiety and then try small, practical changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and managing day-to-day moods.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for handling intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving how people relate to others. It can be useful when strong feelings or self-destructive habits get in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels doable. Together they will try techniques, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed to find what helps most.

Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls let the therapist demonstrate skills and coach in real time. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible options for follow-up, check-ins, and practice between sessions. This range of formats helps fit therapy into busy family schedules and different comfort levels.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
