About Lauren
Lauren Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and problems related to family and relationships.
Lauren has helped people facing life changes, issues with intimacy, anger, low self-esteem, and work-related stress. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and eating or body image concerns. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication or control problems within families.
Her background includes work in community mental health agencies, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health hospitals, transitional living programs, and schools. She has provided both individual and group therapy across these settings, working with people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma as well as substance use difficulties.
Lauren uses a mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to be interactive, with practical skills and focused discussion to help people manage symptoms and make changes they want.
She frames care around respect and sensitivity and adjusts the session plan to fit each person’s concerns. For an adult dealing with family strain or parenting stress, Lauren offers straightforward conversation and practical tools aimed at clearer communication and better coping.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. It helps people clarify what matters to them and set goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and different tools are tried.
