About Lauren
Lauren Christensen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Utah with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her work also addresses self-esteem, motivation, and relationship and parenting concerns.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns that shape how people connect and respond. She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas when helpful. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Lauren aims to make conversations direct and practical. She listens for what matters to each person and builds steps that fit daily life. That can mean practicing new ways to handle strong feelings or trying small behavior changes between sessions.
Over the past decade she has worked with a range of issues including grief, intimacy-related matters, anger, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness and pain, and body image worries. Her approach is respectful and compassionate.
She helps people set goals, try new skills, and track what works. Lauren encourages steady progress so changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice patterns in their emotions and how those patterns affect relationships and daily reactions. It can be useful for concerns tied to connection, intimacy-related issues, and strong emotional cycles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while taking steps that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical ways to make choices that matter to the individual.
Lauren treats the choice of method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about goals, habits, and what feels most workable, then try approaches that match those priorities. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant to current needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well when visual cues and deeper conversation help, while phone calls can suit shorter check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options let people work on attachment, emotional patterns, ACT skills, and CBT-based practices from different places and routines.
