Lauren Krolick, LPC

Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long theory talks.

Lauren uses an eclectic mix of methods and leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to guide her work. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try concrete coping skills, and notice how thoughts and body reactions connect. Conversations are direct but measured, with room for both support and gentle challenge.

Clients often bring relationship stress, issues tied to attachment or abandonment, caregiver strain, or struggles with codependency and communication. Lauren also addresses problems such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, guilt and shame, and the emptiness that can follow major life changes. She works with the concerns listed and adapts the focus as needs shift.

Practical tools are a regular part of sessions: thought records, grounding exercises, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are used to build tolerance for strong feelings and to slow down reactivity. Progress is measured by clearer choices and better coping in day-to-day life.

Lauren conducts therapy in English and sees adults located in New Jersey. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps make the plan and try it out together.
