Approaches for Perinatal Well‑being and Online Support
Lauren Williams uses therapeutic methods that translate well to remote care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress; it is goal-oriented and useful for day-to-day coping. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of emotions, offering techniques to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation during the intense changes of the perinatal period. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and priorities, creating a supportive space where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to clarify goals and values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work; Lauren partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the focus as goals evolve. This shared process helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage in care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving demands, reduce travel time, and access consistent support from licensed professionals in a format that fits daily life.
