My name is Lauren Fawley, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in community counseling. I have been a counselor with Betterhelp for over four years. Prior to becoming an online counselor, I worked as an outpatient therapist for five years in the diverse city of Phoenix, AZ. I'm happy that while I no longer live in a major city, online counseling provides me the opportunity to continue to work with people from all backgrounds.
My experience comes from working with adults with general mental health, addiction, family concerns, and other relationship problems. I've had the experience to work with people in the short-term, for instance to support them through a major life event or difficult relationship situation. I've also worked with people in the long-term to help manage and recover from depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse.
I strongly believe in every person's potential to grow and change for the better, whatever that may look like for you! Our therapy will be directed by you, meaning we will work together on your unique and specific needs.
I am trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. If you have never heard of any of that, please know that all you need to know when entering into therapy is that you will be treated with respect and that what you say will be kept in confidence. I am really grateful that I get to listen to people's stories for a living; above all, I will work to understand and empower you!
I sincerely hope to hear from you.

Lauren is absolutely amazing. We’ve been working together on and off for a few years. Even though I’ve seen many therapists she’s the only one that’s made me feel heard. She is empathetic, kind, and I leave every session being able to see the silver lining.
