About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a warm, goal-focused style to sessions. Lauren often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes.
She also helps those coping with trauma, grief, relationship strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Lauren began her career in community mental health. That work gave her a clear view of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other stressors affect daily life.
Background and approach
She later worked extensively with young adults and adolescents, building practical skills for managing anxiety and depression. Her approach is client-centered and empathetic. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals and track progress.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress and emotional regulation. Lauren has a special interest in people preparing for new parenthood and those navigating early parenting seasons. She describes sessions as collaborative and straightforward, aimed at helping people find workable routines and clearer priorities.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. Lauren is also open to discussing spirituality when that is important to the person she is meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behavior through simple, structured exercises. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals; it helps people feel heard while they clarify what matters to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between meetings and fit support into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other obligations.
