About Lauri

Lauri Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and related difficulties adults bring to therapy.

She works with people who are handling grief, depression, addiction concerns, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Lauri also helps clients facing anger, sleep problems, career stress, bipolar disorder management, and compassion fatigue. She lists LGBT concerns and coping with life changes among her areas of focus.

In sessions she aims to make it possible to speak openly about painful thoughts and feelings. Meetings are straightforward and conversational. Lauri listens, asks questions, and helps people think through practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Her style emphasizes clear, honest discussion rather than jargon. She encourages small, manageable changes and checks in about what is and is not working. Many people come for help sorting through family conflict or repairing strained relationships at home.

Clients who choose to work with her first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. Lauri provides services in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How sessions work

How Lauri approaches evidence-based work online

She describes her approach as direct and conversational, built around evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target symptoms and everyday problems. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and develop small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Trauma-informed strategies focus on helping someone manage difficult memories, reduce their impact on day-to-day life, and build coping skills for triggers.

Figuring out which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process is about finding practical tools and ways of thinking that fit the client's situation and preferences.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping appointments without travel. Some people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work or childcare, and others prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited. Confirm the current session options before booking to know how meetings are arranged, and expect the clinician to help match the work to your day-to-day life.
