Lauren Fawley, LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with 12 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship issues. Lauren also has added focus areas that include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and cancer-related concerns. Her style is practical and person-centered, and she aims to help each person set goals that matter to them.

Lauren’s background includes five years as an outpatient therapist in Phoenix and additional years providing online counseling. She has worked with adults across a range of concerns, from short-term support during major life events to longer-term care for depression, trauma, and recovery from substance use. Her work draws on practical skills rather than rigid protocols, so sessions tend to focus on what helps day-to-day.

In sessions she uses approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness. That mix lets her tailor interventions to a person’s needs - for example building coping skills, improving communication, or reducing unhelpful thinking patterns. She encourages people to take small steps toward change and to set realistic, personal goals.

Clients can expect a respectful, collaborative process where the therapist listens first and offers tools second. Lauren emphasizes strengths and what each person already does well. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, especially when life feels overwhelming.

If someone wants help working through caregiving strain, aging-related concerns, or major life transitions, Lauren frames work around practical strategies and clear goals. People who value a straightforward, supportive approach may find her style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lauren commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which can help with life transitions, coping with loss, and aging-related decisions. CBT targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and is useful for reducing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try different strategies to see what fits. Together they will decide which methods to use and adjust them as needs and goals change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for caregivers or people managing health appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
