About Lauren
Lauren Turner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, mood concerns, trauma, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to handle tense moments and recurring frustrations in everyday life.
Her style leans toward client-centered conversations that let people describe what matters to them. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice how thoughts and actions keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Lauren keeps sessions solution-focused and tends to be non-directive. That means she invites clients to set the pace and goals while offering techniques and observations that can be tried between meetings. She describes therapy as interactive and validating rather than prescriptive.
She has supported people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include attachment difficulties, blended family stress, chronic illness, codependency, and substance use problems.
Practical tools in her work include thought-behavior adjustments, guided mindfulness practices, goal-setting, and motivational strategies. Lauren asks clients to work on small experiments between sessions so change can be tested and refined in daily life.
How sessions work
How Lauren’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Lauren uses client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice the thoughts and habits that keep anger cycling. Client-centered work means sessions start with the person’s priorities and experiences. CBT offers practical steps and experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and responses, useful for workplace frustration, relationship conflict, or chronic resentment.She also uses mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of physical and emotional cues before reactions escalate. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to change but are unsure how to begin. The therapist will work collaboratively to blend these methods based on the client’s goals and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed approach.
If you plan to meet remotely, confirm the specific session formats before booking since those details are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote work helpful for practicing changes in real life and then bringing observations back to sessions for adjustment and planning.
