About Lauren
Lauren Gallagher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, parenting strains, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and codependency. Lauren draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Clinical Health Psychology from The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Her work history includes inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, school-based settings, and in-home services. That range means she has worked with many different challenges and levels of need.
Lauren uses a person-centered, integrative approach in session. She helps people set clear goals and focuses on practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy appear regularly in her practice.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client and then helps build skills for change. She teaches coping strategies, communication tools, and ways to manage strong emotions. She also supports people who want clearer boundaries, healthier relationship habits, or help managing symptoms from mood or attention differences.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients lead by naming priorities and Lauren helps create straightforward plans to address them. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Lauren’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT sessions commonly use worksheets, skill practice, and short experiments to try between appointments. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact through pacing, grounding skills, and memory-focused techniques suited to the client's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift as progress is made, and sessions can blend techniques to match what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins, using audio only when needed, or scheduling around busy days so therapy feels manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
