About Lauren

Lauren Spencer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado who blends evidence-based talk therapy with holistic practices to support people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered approaches to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build practical coping skills. Her background in yoga and spiritual practice informs a broader emphasis on mind-body awareness and personal empowerment.

Sessions focus on learning tools that can be used long term to manage symptoms, strengthen self-esteem, and address issues such as codependency, body image, panic, and communication difficulties. Lauren also works with concerns related to career, family dynamics, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse, offering therapy and coaching designed to support growth and healing.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s life story while introducing strategies for greater emotional regulation and relational connection. Clients can expect an integrative approach that weaves relaxation techniques, reflective talk work, and meaning-focused rituals when appropriate, with attention to restoring agency and resilience through practical interventions and compassionate guidance.

Integrating Evidence-Based Therapy with Holistic Support Online

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and mood-related symptoms. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she frames treatment as collaborative work. Together with each client she considers goals, preferences, and life context to determine which combination of CBT, attachment-focused work, or client-centered techniques will best support progress, adjusting methods as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reach clients who live farther away, and maintain continuity through life changes while using practical, skills-based interventions and reflective therapeutic conversations.
