Lauren Fawley , LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in community counseling. As an LPC, she holds a state license to provide professional counseling services, and her graduate training focused on working with individuals and families in community settings.

She has worked as an outpatient therapist for five years in Phoenix, Arizona, and has provided online counseling for more than four years. That combination of in-person and online work has given her experience with adults facing general mental health concerns, addiction, family issues, and relationship difficulties. Lauren has supported people in short-term work during major life events and challenging relationship transitions, as well as in longer-term treatment for depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse.

Lauren approaches therapy with the belief that people can grow and change in ways that matter to them. Sessions are directed collaboratively, with goals shaped by each person’s specific needs and preferences. She is trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, and she aims to listen, understand, and empower the people she works with. Lauren appreciates the opportunity to hear clients’ stories and to support them in finding practical steps forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure online work in ways that match each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and committed action - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth - this approach can be helpful for building self-esteem and processing relationship or family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, and many everyday difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful, tailoring sessions to their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring. This collaboration can include mixing approaches as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can be done via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not feasible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
