About Lauren
Lauren Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns alongside related issues such as grief, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue.
She works with adults who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, or big life changes. She uses everyday language and practical conversation to help people sort out feelings and next steps. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Lauren draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. She blends these methods to help people notice difficult thoughts, practice new actions, and repair connection where it matters most. She also uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when helpful.
Her background includes a decade of clinical practice in community and outpatient settings. That experience informs work with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, chronic illness, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family stress, and parenting strains. She aims to be straightforward about options and next steps during early sessions.

How sessions work
How Lauren integrates evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, workable steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for stress, mood concerns, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how earlier experiences shape current connection. It can help people understand and change how they relate to partners and family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and collaboratively choose methods that fit those goals. That conversation can include mixing skills practice, relational work, and values-focused actions to match what the client needs.
