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.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that is dually licensed in Florida and Arizona and am originally from California where I obtained my Bachelor's in Psychology.

My experience has consisted of treating childhood disorders, improving family relationships, parenting techniques, psycho-education regarding mental illness, perinatal depression and anxiety, postpartum depression, couples counseling, adolescent changes, and stress management. I utilize a strengths based, solutions focused treatment to therapy, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy as well. I have found that our thoughts are what tend to cause us the most distress, and if we are able to recognize and change those thoughts, we can have an improved quality of life. My goals as a therapist are to make you feel safe, validated, and empowered. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, with the client setting their goals and priorities for treatment.
