Lauren Christensen

Lauren Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger while guiding them through difficult life changes.

She draws on ten years of experience to shape conversations around each person's needs. Sessions are respectful and compassionate. Lauren aims to build a clear plan together rather than offer one-size-fits-all advice.

Her approach mixes practical skills with deeper work on relationships and patterns. Lauren uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to teach new ways of handling thoughts and moods. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions.

Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping, plus time to talk about grief, trauma, or parenting concerns when those issues come up. She also helps people facing career stress, chronic illness, and challenges like ADHD or codependency.

Lauren emphasizes collaboration: she listens, suggests short-term goals, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people work toward changes that matter to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lauren uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT focuses on practical exercises and step-by-step changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; it helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to meaningful actions even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work as well, which looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or remove travel time. Many people find that learning skills and working through relationship or anger issues translates well to a remote setting when the therapist and client agree on a plan.
