About Lauren
Lauren Petrocelli is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Lauren also works with clients dealing with changes in life and career concerns.
She often supports people living with disabilities and chronic health issues, including chronic pain and illness, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairment. Lauren uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels unmanageable and what can be changed in day-to-day life.
Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She breaks problems into workable steps and uses mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable goals to build momentum.
Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies that fit a person’s routines. That might mean trying new ways to respond when anger or frustration rises, testing small behavioral changes, or building brief practices to improve sleep and focus. Lauren checks progress and adjusts plans as needed.
She works in English and practices in New York. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is collaborative and goal-directed, with an emphasis on what can be changed now.
How Lauren uses CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work online
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or anger, then tests small, practical changes that can reduce reactivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and breathing practices to notice rising tension and respond with less impulse. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and steps a person can try between sessions to see real-world effects.Choosing the best mix of these approaches is collaborative. Lauren will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily routines. She revisits what is or isn't helping and adjusts the plan together with the client.
The practical benefits of working online are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick strategy tweak is needed. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Overall the focus is on using approaches that transfer to daily situations and help manage anger and related concerns in real time.
