Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lauren Stephenson uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and improve mood, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills, and is useful for strong emotions, interpersonal conflict, and coping with intense stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to fit into everyday life while preserving the collaborative, goal-oriented work that supports meaningful change.
