About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and anger, and she also supports career and self-esteem concerns.
Lauren began her practice in a community mental health agency. That work gave her a close view of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and daily stress shape people and family life. She has worked with individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, abuse or neglect, parenting difficulties, and major life changes.
Much of her caseload has included young adults and people navigating early parenting and engagement. She often helps people manage the highs and lows that come with becoming a parent or entering a new committed relationship. Lauren draws on practical strategies to reduce overwhelm during these seasons.
Her approach is client-centered and goal oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear objectives, practice new skills, and track progress. She also integrates mindfulness practices to support coping and emotional regulation.
Lauren holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a master’s degree from Milligan College. She is a Christian and is open to discussing spirituality during sessions when clients want that included.
She balances professional work with family life and brings that perspective to conversations about work-life strain and practical routines.
How Lauren’s therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building practical goals together. It helps when someone needs someone who listens closely and helps set achievable steps for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood because it gives concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy involves brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people feel less swept up in strong emotions.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as skills are learned and life changes occur.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm current session formats before booking to see which options she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, use short coaching-style calls when time is limited, and practice skills between meetings without long travel. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent while managing work and family demands.
