Lauren Young, LPC - Therapist in Tennessee

About Lauren

Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on clear, practical help for families and parents. She draws on a decade of experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and goal-focused, and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

Lauren began her work in a community mental health agency in Tennessee. That early experience gave her a direct view of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other pressures affect both individuals and family life.

Background and approach

She has since worked with adults and families facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and parenting difficulties. She has more than nine years of experience with young adults and adolescents dealing with life stressors, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Lauren also has a particular interest in supporting women who are newly engaged or new parents, helping them manage the big changes of those seasons. Her clinical toolbox includes client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. She uses these approaches to help people set clear goals, practice new skills, and test small changes between sessions.

Lauren earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. She is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC, license number TN LPC 4281. Outside of work she balances marriage and family life, which informs her practical take on juggling work and home responsibilities.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Family and Parenting Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a supportive relationship. It helps people feel understood and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depression and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to connect from home, follow up between meetings, and use tools learned in sessions in real life. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy flexible and accessible while focusing on clear, practical steps parents and families can try between meetings.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
