About Lauren

Lauren Krall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, or issues around intimacy and self-worth. Lauren aims to make the first steps easier and encourages people to reach out when they feel ready.

She works in a direct, team-focused way. Sessions are grounded in person-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches. Lauren also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how past relationships shape current reactions and closeness with others.

In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new ways of communicating, and set realistic goals. She uses short, clear exercises and homework when that fits a person’s pace. The work often includes building coping skills for anxiety, managing strong emotions, and practicing new relationship habits.

Lauren has supported people through trauma and abuse, codependency patterns, blended family stress, caregiving strain, and eating or body-image concerns. She pays attention to how family of origin and attachment wounds show up in adult life and relationships.

Her style is accepting and practical. Lauren describes therapy as a team effort where clients’ goals guide the work. To begin, she invites people to take the initial step and schedule a match so they can talk about immediate concerns and next steps.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Lauren often uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. That approach helps people who struggle with closeness, fear of abandonment, or repeating negative relationship cycles.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her. This means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and following the client’s goals rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides hands-on tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT work is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits that keep people stuck.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. This helps find what feels most helpful over time.

If you are interested in online options, confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and let people work from quieter locations or places with better internet. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
