About Lauren
Lauren Gusman is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship problems, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, gender dysphoria, and young adult issues. Lauren speaks English and practices in Ohio.
Lauren draws on straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She views clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In conversations she helps people talk through parenting challenges, communication problems, and patterns that lead to repeated frustration or explosive moments.
Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape short, focused work and longer-term habit changes. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing calmness skills, and setting concrete small goals to reduce reactivity. Sessions also address related areas such as dissociation, seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm concerns when they come up.
Lauren has experience working with youth and family-related issues and with clients who identify as LGBT. She helps people manage relationship strain and the stress that comes with parenting and family conflict. Her practice aims to be practical and direct, with attention to what helps most in day-to-day life.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Lauren uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and she practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and track small changes. That approach suits people who want practical steps to curb temper outbursts or improve communication. Choosing which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to match approach, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use practices between meetings. For instance, video or phone sessions can offer a straightforward way to keep momentum without long travel, while shorter meetings can help review skills after a difficult event. Talk with the therapist about what schedule and format will fit daily life best.
