About Lauren
Lauren Cooper is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses EMDR alongside client-centered work to help people process painful memories and reduce distress. Her style is direct but gentle, aiming to make therapy feel manageable and clear for people under stress.
She commonly helps with anxiety, panic, stress, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. Lauren also supports people navigating LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, and she addresses problems like body image, codependency, and shame.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change and on practical steps toward those goals. Her approach blends brief learning tools with deeper processing work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Lauren draws on five years of clinical practice in Indiana as an LMHC. She meets people where they are and adjusts pace to fit their needs.
The goal is steady progress through clear steps rather than quick fixes. People can expect a collaborative relationship that addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. Lauren offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and communication styles.
She works in English and does not accept international clients.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Lauren uses EMDR to help people process traumatic memories and reduce intense reactions, offering a pathway to reframe past events. Client-Centered Therapy is also central - sessions focus on the person's goals and preferences and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that improve daily functioning.Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and comfort with different methods, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with their needs.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video visits let people work visually and use interactive exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity across schedule changes.
