About Lauren
Dr. Lauren Pitts-Bounds brings 13 years of clinical experience to work with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, career transitions, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Background and approach
She combines practical coaching with therapeutic care to help clients navigate abandonment and attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and other family of origin or commitment struggles. Her background includes supporting those coping with cancer, domestic violence, divorce and fatherhood issues as part of a broad practice focus.
She practices as an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist - and integrates evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused strategies. Her work emphasizes translating life adversity into opportunities for growth, attending to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions when relevant to clients' goals.
Based in Delaware, she offers therapy through a mix of formats and draws on teaching and public speaking experience to clarify skills and foster resilience. Dr.
Pitts-Bounds frames therapeutic work as collaborative and goal-oriented, tailoring interventions to each person's circumstances while prioritizing practical tools for communication, coping, and relationship repair.
Approaches that guide online therapeutic work
Dr. Pitts-Bounds uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing mood, stress, and relationship reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another core element, focusing on how early relational patterns shape current bonds and helping clients strengthen security and communication in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy rounds out her work by prioritizing a respectful, empathic stance that centers the client's perspective and supports self-directed change.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; she collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows for adjustments over time so treatment remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Delaware and can support continuity of work during life transitions, allowing clients to use tools and strategies between sessions with ongoing therapist guidance.
