About Lauren

Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who brings a client-centered, goal-focused style to therapy. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques with a warm, empathetic presence to help clients clarify objectives, address stressors, and build practical coping strategies.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she gained a broad perspective on how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other stressors affect individuals and family systems. With ten years of experience, Lauren has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

She has particular experience with young adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Lauren also enjoys supporting women during major life seasons such as engagement and new parenthood, helping them manage the highs and lows that come with those changes.

Lauren holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a master’s degree from Milligan College. She is open to discussing spirituality during sessions when clients wish to include that perspective, and she aims to create an environment that is both supportive and outcome-oriented.

Practical approaches for online therapy and working toward goals

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients in finding their own solutions while feeling understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting techniques as sessions progress so the work remains practical and aligned with the client's preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy life seasons such as new parenthood or career transitions and allow clients to access therapy in a way that best fits their daily routines.
