About Lauren
Lauren Krall is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and parenting-related challenges. Lauren aims to create an approachable, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard things and find practical steps forward.
Her style centers on listening closely to what each person brings and working together to set achievable goals. Lauren draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in relationships and intimacy concerns. Common issues she supports include relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, body image and eating issues, and life transitions like separation or career change. She also addresses ADHD-related coping, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties.
Lauren prefers a collaborative, team-oriented process. Sessions typically include straightforward skill building, emotion-focused conversations, and real-world practice between meetings. Her aim is to help people develop clearer choices and more effective ways of coping.
For parents feeling overwhelmed by behavior, boundaries, or blended household stress, she offers down-to-earth guidance and tools to try at home. Lauren encourages small steps and realistic plans so changes are easier to maintain over time.

Approaches that guide online work
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and offers ways to build more stable bonds. Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of the session, using empathic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors and experiments, which can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending attachment ideas with CBT skills or shifting the balance over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use written prompts when talking feels hard. These options offer flexibility for parents and busy adults to fit therapy into a real schedule.
