Lauren Fawley , LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s degree in community counseling and 12 years of clinical experience. She blends years of outpatient practice in Phoenix, AZ with several years of online counseling to support adults from a wide range of backgrounds.

Her work focuses on general mental health concerns as well as addictions, family and relationship struggles, and life transitions. She has experience offering short-term support for acute life events or difficult relationship moments, and longer-term work to address depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse. Her approach centers on listening closely to each person’s story and aligning treatment with the goals that matter most to them.

Lauren is trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, and she draws from these methods to tailor care to individual needs. She believes in each person’s capacity for growth and recovery, and she directs sessions collaboratively so that clients steer the focus of their work. Above all, she aims to understand, empower, and support people as they navigate change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Counseling

Lauren often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to meet each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to support self-exploration and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That shared decision-making helps shape a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Lauren offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to maintain therapy amid busy or changing lives.
