About Lara
Lara Fallon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 25 years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.
She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. She pays attention to daily routines, communication patterns, and how strong feelings show up in relationships and at work.
Lara draws on several approaches to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thought patterns that increase upset and test different ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity. Client-Centered and Solution-Focused ideas keep work grounded in the person’s goals and strengths.
Her experience includes helping people cope with chronic health issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and aging concerns. She also addresses body image, commitment and control issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Lara works in straightforward terms about setbacks like guilt, shame, and resentment. She helps people map small, achievable changes for daily life. The emphasis is on practical tools for communication, anger management, and coping with major life changes.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people name priorities and decide what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lara will talk through the methods that may fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. The aim is a collaborative process where the client helps choose which skills to practice between meetings.
