About Lauren
Lauren Gusman is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting concerns, relationship strain, addiction issues, grief, and self-esteem problems. She also addresses ADHD, LGBT questions, trauma and abuse, and related challenges.
Lauren takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on strengths that already exist. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings to manage strong feelings and improve communication.
Her sessions commonly include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means helping people notice thought patterns that fuel anger or worry, testing those thoughts, and practicing simple skills to calm the body and shift attention. Solution-focused work narrows in on immediate goals and small changes that make daily life easier.
Lauren has experience supporting parents with child behavior and family tensions, and she also works with young adults facing transitions. She helps people talk through parenting challenges without judging past choices, and she offers practical strategies for setting limits, reducing reactivity, and repairing relationships.
People can expect straightforward skill-building, homework that’s realistic, and a focus on measurable change over time. The initial process includes clarifying what matters most, picking a small first step, and testing what works in real life. Lauren conducts sessions in English and practices in Ohio.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, test those ideas, and try alternative responses. CBT is useful for anger that comes from recurring thought patterns and for managing anxiety and depression.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises help people notice bodily signs of anger and choose a different response rather than reacting immediately.
Solution-focused work centers on small, concrete changes. Sessions identify one or two achievable goals and track what shifts after trying a new behavior for a week or two. Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies based on what they report is helpful in day-to-day life.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, use phone-only sessions when bandwidth or camera time is limited, or practice skills between meetings in the locations where the client spends their time.
