About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, career questions, depression, trauma and coping with life changes. She also lists codependency and attachment-related struggles among her focus areas.
Lauren combines talk-based work with attention to emotional patterns and life story. Sessions look at how early experiences shape current relationships and patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. She brings in cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and emotion-focused techniques to clarify relational needs.
Her approach also draws on Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning, and on client-centered principles such as listening without judgement. That means time is spent naming what feels stuck and trying small, practical changes that change daily experience. Lauren aims to teach skills clients can reuse after therapy ends.
A background in yoga and spiritual practices informs how she uses breath, body awareness, and reflective ritual alongside conversation. She says these practices can help people notice bodily signals and stay present during difficult feelings.
Lauren graduated from Regis University in 2014 and has worked in private practice since then. She has developed coaching-style programs focused on body image, self-love, and relationship work, while continuing to see individual clients for therapy and support.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and expectations. Online sessions can use that lens to identify repeating dynamics, such as difficulty asserting needs or chronic caretaking, and to practice new responses in conversation style exercises.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online meetings focus on clear, patient conversation that helps people name feelings and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her work as tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to test new beliefs.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose which approach fits their goals and preferences, and they will adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that often combines emotional exploration with concrete skills practice.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Others prefer a longer conversation to dig into relationship patterns. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your schedule and needs.
