Lauren Herzog

Lauren Herzog is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and marriage and family therapy to her work. Lauren aims to help people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and the everyday problems that get in the way of relationships and well-being.

She trained in psychology at Pepperdine University and completed a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Seattle Pacific University. Her approach draws on systemic thinking, so she looks at patterns and relationships that affect a person’s life. She mixes different methods to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed style.

Lauren uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people feel heard. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills in emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Her focus areas include anger, relationships, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety issues, grief, addiction, body image, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She also addresses specific themes like abandonment, attachment, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps and skill-building. Lauren helps people set short-term goals and practice tools between sessions. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking so they know what formats are available.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It centers the conversation on the client's priorities and helps build trust so people can talk openly about anger, relationships, and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce anger and anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools support people who have strong emotional reactions and need concrete ways to cope in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made or new needs arise.

The original profile did not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions so clients continue learning skills between meetings.
