I know asking for help is not always the easiest thing to do and I seek to honor the effort it takes to stretch, grow, change and open yourself up in order to reach out. I love working with families, couples and individuals alike. I am a well seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience helping others with many and varied challenges in their lives. As a Family Therapist, I believe life is all about relationships and connection and this gives me a unique and valuable perspective most individual therapists may not have. I have experience helping people recover from trauma, deal with grief and loss and restore broken relationships. I specialize in helping clients work toward life balance, working from wherever they are to wherever they want to be. I am authentic, non-judgmental, honest, hilarious (or at least I think I am), and look forward to helping you on your journey.
I will be available to work with you on Monday through Friday (I take Saturdays and Sundays off) via live chat, asynchronous texting, phone or video. I currently live and travel in my small motorhome in the West and Southwest so my time zone may be a bit different than yours, which is often advantageous. I grew up in California (please don't hold that against me as I left as soon as I could) and I have lived in WI, UT, AZ, GA and Alaska (at the Top of the World in Barrow).

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Kelly. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Lauren is truly sensitive & empathetic, while giving me solid advice and helping me see things that I can work on to feel better. I could not have hoped for a better match with a therapist.

Lauren has been very helpful so far during our sessions. She always gives me something to think about and work on that is applicable to our conversations and what I am going through.

Lauren has been an instrumental part of my healing over the last couple of years. She listens to where I’m at each week and offers insights, questions, and understanding to help me process through my situation and move into a healthier mindset and state of living. She’s given me tools to assess, challenge, and grow in many areas, and has always been a safe place for me to process.
She is kind, an attentive listener, a challenger in the best ways, and always honest — even when I have a hard time being honest with myself.

Lauren has coached me through one of the most difficult times in my life, and I’ve never felt so seen, supported, encouraged, and empowered by another therapist before. I feel SO much healthier after having all of our sessions, and just feel so comforted knowing that I have a support system. She actively listens, asks poignant questions, keeps things lighthearted, and gives me tools to think about at the end of each session, so I’m always working towards unlearning old/toxic habits or learning new/healthier ones. I’m so thankful for Lauren, and seriously couldn’t ask for a better human being/therapist in my life. I’m deeply grateful I stumbled across her profile on BetterHelp, and reached out for help!

Lauren has helped me work through some tough stuff. Our interactions are always professional and productive. She is kind and compassionate while helping me work through areas that I have flawed thought processes. I very much appreciate the work we have done and the tools that I am gaining.

I also appreciate the safety net.

So far I’m having a pretty good experience. I have found therapy with Lauren very meaningful . I am going through a roller coaster of things and she is great at jumping around and responding to my chapter book messages . She also goes out of her way to reach out .. even though I know she’s doing her job , people that come to this need to feel cared for and I feel that with gestures like that .. highly recommend!

It is such a relief just having a compassionate therapist to lean on. I feel free to express myself openly. I respect her guidance. Her education and experience are very important to me. I’m enjoying this journey with her. I needed her so much and am hopeful to not need her so much as we continue our conversations and I heal.

Lauren has been a great therapist for me over the last 5 months. I feel comfortable talking to her, she remembers the details in between sessions and has really helped me understand my thought process and take control of my mental health. She's also provided me with some useful tools to work with when I'm not feeling so great. We typically speak weekly and it's been invaluable.

Lauren is empathetic without judging. She makes you feel very comfortable and checks in periodically. She provides tactics to help instead of just being a listening ear. It’s clear that helping others is in her DNA. And she laughs at my jokes sometimes.. bonus is that her laugh is genuine.
