About Lauri

Lauri Dunn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family conflicts. She also works with those facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Lauri practices in Delaware and speaks English.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Lauri aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood.

Background and approach

She encourages small, practical steps that match a person’s life and goals. Over nine years of professional experience inform her work. That background includes supporting people through big life changes and times of acute stress.

Clients can expect a steady, compassionate presence while they try new ways of coping. Lauri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each situation. She pays attention to how relationships and family patterns affect daily life and recovery.

The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. She believes taking the first step toward change takes real courage, and she offers supportive guidance along the way. Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps and skills they can use between meetings.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online family and life concerns

Lauri uses a few evidence-based approaches to guide online work. One common method focuses on skill-building and coping strategies - teaching practical tools to manage anxiety, regulate mood, improve sleep, and handle anger. These skills are useful when stress impacts daily routines and family interactions.

She also emphasizes working with relationship and family patterns. This approach looks at communication, roles, and boundaries so people can change how they relate to one another. It can help when family conflict or intimacy issues affect wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions give a simpler audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging suit those who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit consistent support into parenting and work schedules while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
