About Lauren
Lauren Herman is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, motivation, and building self-esteem, confidence, and coping strategies. Lauren frames work around what each person brings and the strengths they already have.
She pays attention to practical concerns. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that cause overwhelm and testing simple strategies to change those patterns. She uses clear conversation rather than jargon and helps people try new ways of handling hard moments.
People who see her for relationship strain, grief, or trauma and abuse get steady, structured support. She also works with addiction, eating and food-related issues, and struggles around body image and codependency. Treatment is described in straightforward terms, with steps someone can try between sessions.
Lauren often addresses attachment issues, communication problems, and family-of-origin questions. She helps people who feel stuck by looking at small behavior changes that add up over time. Sessions include setting concrete goals and checking progress each week.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens, offers tools, and adjusts plans as a person notices what helps and what does not. Sessions are conducted in English and organized around each person’s day-to-day life and responsibilities.
How sessions work
How clinical methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used in this kind of work include brief skills training and structured problem-solving. Skills training teaches concrete ways to manage anxiety, panic, or overwhelming feelings by practicing specific breathing, grounding, and behavior experiments. Structured problem-solving breaks larger stresses into steps you can tackle one at a time and is useful for life changes, motivation, and immediate coping needs.Another common approach focuses on identifying attachment and relationship patterns. This helps when codependency, communication problems, or family-of-origin issues make it hard to set boundaries or keep a sense of self. The therapist helps map those patterns and tests alternative responses in daily life so changes are practical and observable.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches based on a person’s goals, situation, and what feels manageable. Clients give feedback and the plan is adjusted as they notice what helps.
