About Lauren

Lauren Greeley is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who brings 18 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, and life transitions. She also addresses areas such as ADHD, career concerns, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and multicultural and immigration-related stresses.

Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with an emphasis on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs. Lauren draws from evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to build practical skills and help clients work toward their goals.

She offers services in English and Spanish and structures sessions to fit individual circumstances and preferences. Lauren recognizes that beginning therapy often takes courage and aims to create an approachable space where practical coping strategies and personal exploration can happen together.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals guide the work and the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods and techniques best match their needs, preferences, and goals. That collaborative planning can include blending elements from different approaches when appropriate so treatment stays responsive and individualized.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from their own location and to choose the communication style that fits their schedule and comfort level while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
