Lauren Spencer , LPC

Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Colorado who blends psychotherapy with body-centered and spiritual practices to support people navigating stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, career transitions, and other life changes. She integrates an array of clinical tools to help clients understand their symptoms and place them within their broader life story, with an emphasis on skills that can be carried forward long term.

Rooted in a belief that healing engages mind, body, and spirit, her work combines talk-based exploration with practices that relax the body and invite deeper emotional awareness. Sessions often include techniques to calm physical tension, reflective dialogue to clarify patterns and beliefs, and ritual or embodied practices to reconnect with inner experience. The goal is to introduce practical coping tools while also honoring difficult life events as opportunities for transformation.

She trained at Regis University, graduating in 2014, and completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2012, experiences that inform her integrative approach. The LPC credential indicates a Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential for mental health professionals trained to provide psychotherapy. In addition to clinical work, she has developed coaching programs and membership offerings focused on body image, self-love, relationship with the heart and womb, and personal empowerment. Her practice includes programming designed for women as well as work supporting men in cultivating purpose and strength.

Integrating Attachment and Practical Strategies in Online Care

Lauren Spencer draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can be helpful for abandonment, intimacy, and relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance - the therapist listens deeply and helps clients discover their own direction and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured tools for anxiety, panic, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods so the work feels right for the individual. This collaborative process helps determine whether more exploratory, emotionally focused work or practical skills-based interventions are best at any given time.

Online therapy with Lauren can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent care from wherever a client is located, support continuity between sessions, and allow people to engage in therapy in the format that best fits their life.
