About Lara
Lara Fallon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem problems. She also addresses addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
Fallon uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage everyday pressure. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, clearer communication, and problem solving. She draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, DBT strategies, and solution-focused work to shape sessions around the person's immediate needs.
Many people come with trouble handling life changes, caregiving stress, blended family issues, or chronic illness. Fallon offers tools to reduce overwhelm and to organize small steps that fit into busy lives. She helps people who are dealing with divorce, commitment or control issues, and feelings of guilt, shame, or emptiness.
Her work also covers aging and geriatric issues, body image, and support around HIV/AIDS related concerns. Sessions aim to clarify priorities, practice new responses, and set realistic next steps rather than promising quick fixes.
Fallon sees adults who want to address personal and family-related struggles. She speaks English and practices in Missouri. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching process and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person identify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating emotions and managing intense reactions. DBT techniques can help with anger, distress tolerance, and relationship communication. Fallon will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation and goals, and she will adjust methods as needed in collaboration with the client.
Because the right approach is part of the work, she treats finding that fit as a collaborative step. Together they review what helps, try specific skills, and refine the plan based on what actually works in daily life. This ongoing choice helps keep sessions focused and practical.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
