Lauren Grogman, LPC

Lauren Grogman is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 14 years of experience helping adults and teens. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and direct, offering support, guidance, and gentle accountability. Lauren aims to make the first step easier by listening without judgment and responding with practical next steps.

Lauren views therapy as a partnership. She asks questions about early experiences, belief systems, and current routines to find patterns that no longer serve the client. Conversations often look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to spot what keeps problems repeating. From there she helps set realistic, action-focused goals tailored to daily life.

Her work draws on Adlerian ideas about belonging and purpose, and she combines that perspective with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. Sessions may include skill practice, new ways of thinking, and experiments to test what works. Humor and kindness are part of the process when appropriate.

Lauren also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and to help people notice how early connections shape current responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concepts may be used when clients want to clarify values and take steps toward them. The result is a practical plan that fits the client’s values and day-to-day demands.

If someone has questions about how counseling might look, Lauren invites them to ask so they can decide together whether to begin.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Lauren often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to action that reflects personal priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her practice and helps people notice relationship patterns that influence their reactions and choices, useful for improving communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss different methods and try approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences. Together they adjust techniques based on what feels helpful and feasible in everyday life so interventions fit actual routines and responsibilities.

For practical matters around online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. The focus remains on applying therapeutic tools to real situations and helping clients build manageable habits that carry over between sessions.
