About Lauren
Lauren Rich is an LCSW with 16 years of practice who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a wide range of stress-related concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and career or workplace stress. Her style is direct and empathetic and she helps clients who want clear, practical steps forward.
Lauren draws on experience with military, law enforcement, sports performance, and other high-stress careers. That background informs her practical approach to coping with pressure, trauma, and career transitions. She also supports first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and people coping with disasters.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting relationship and meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and EMDR for processing distressing memories when appropriate.
Lauren blends motivational interviewing and narrative work to clarify values and life purpose. This can help with money and financial stress, process addictions, sexual concerns, and relationship strain. The aim is to make therapy useful for everyday choices and long-term goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach center on building rapport, reflecting concerns, and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. In online work CBT often includes homework and short check-ins to track progress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through structured practice. These skills can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions to help manage intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports people who prefer working from different locations or who need flexibility around work and family demands.
