01About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma and loss. Lauren writes plainly and meets people where they are in life.
She began her career in a community mental health agency in Tennessee. That work gave her a clear view of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and everyday stress affect people’s choices and routines.
Background and approach
Over the past 10 years she has supported many individuals and young adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Lauren favors a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals in focus. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable steps and measure progress. She has a particular interest in supporting women who are newly engaged or new parents. Lauren helps them manage the highs and lows of those seasons and build routines that reduce stress and increase resilience.
Lauren holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a master’s degree from Milligan College. She is comfortable talking about spirituality when clients want to include it in sessions. Outside of work she manages a busy household with her spouse and understands the challenges of balancing work and family life.

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. The approach emphasizes listening, understanding, and working at the client’s pace so goals come from the person’s own values. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. This method helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps and what will be different when goals start to be met.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without commuting. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a lunch break. These formats help maintain continuity of care and make it easier to keep therapy consistent with daily life.
