About Lauren
Lauren Daoust is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She writes with a calm, direct tone and focuses on practical steps you can use day to day. Lauren draws on six years as a therapist and earlier experience in hospice and hospital social work to offer steady, compassionate support.
She keeps first sessions low pressure and conversational. The early meetings focus on what feels most urgent and whether the fit feels right. Lauren notices both emotional and physical signals and uses that information to guide next steps.
Her work is collaborative and rooted in real-life tools. Clients learn strategies to cope with mood shifts, sleep troubles, codependency patterns, and relationship strain. She emphasizes strengths and small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Lauren blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed listening and client-centered pacing. Mindfulness skills are woven into sessions when those practices match a person’s goals.
She is based in Wisconsin and works in English. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then take small steps toward what matters. This approach can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current connections; it helps people recognize attachment needs and try new ways of relating in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting over time as needs change. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space for noticing what’s working and what needs a different strategy.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for faster check-ins when needed. Some people appreciate being able to use mindfulness practices or do brief real-time exercises during a session, while others prefer a slower, reflective pace; Lauren adapts to those preferences during planning and follow-up.
