Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lauren Latham
Lauren draws on evidence-informed methods to support people in moving toward their values and improving relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and supports taking concrete steps toward a valued life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how they influence current connections; it can be especially helpful for relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience and fosters a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where people can explore feelings and make their own choices, which suits those seeking warmth and collaborative support.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as goals evolve and as clients learn what helps them most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to connect from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
