Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren Scupp draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based skills training to support people working through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to explore their values and goals while the therapist reflects and supports growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance, which can be helpful for emotional regulation and relationship troubles.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and integrates different strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allow for flexible scheduling and consistent access to care. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, accommodate busy routines, and connect with licensed professionals from home or on the go.
