About Lauren

Lauren Rich is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and major life changes. She also supports clients facing burnout, career concerns, ADHD, and relationship strain. Lauren speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical and usable for day-to-day life.

Her approach is direct and empathetic. She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

People can expect clear goals, step-by-step coping plans, and ways to practice skills between sessions. Lauren’s background includes work with military and law enforcement personnel, sports performance, executive coaching, and other high-stress careers. That experience shapes how she helps with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and workplace stress.

She also addresses issues linked to disasters, financial strain, and seasonal mood changes. In sessions Lauren uses client-centered conversations alongside structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and EMDR when those approaches fit the concern and the person’s comfort level.

The focus is on practical change rather than labels. Therapy is offered in multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Lauren works with clients across Oklahoma and accepts international clients in English.

Online support

How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people clarify goals and values, which works well for career decisions, life purpose, and relationship strain.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical tools for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and sleep issues by teaching ways to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

EMDR, when used, involves guided processing of distressing memories and sensations through structured bilateral stimulation. It can be helpful for people dealing with trauma, first responder stress, and strong reactions tied to past events.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lauren will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interactions and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer appointments.
