About Lauren
Lauren Czachor, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, or mood shifts. She works with adults who are navigating tough life changes and relationship strain. Her style is direct and practical, focused on what needs to change now so daily life feels easier.
Lauren uses straightforward tools to break down problems into manageable steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions often involve setting small goals, practicing new skills, and tracking progress between meetings.
She has five years of clinical experience and has worked with people affected by trauma and substance use. She also has experience supporting uniformed professionals, including first responders and military-connected clients. Lauren aims to create a calm space to talk through urgent problems and make practical plans.
Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving and skills practice in sessions. Lauren helps people develop tools they can use outside the office, such as coping strategies for anxiety or plans to reduce substance use. She focuses on clear steps and steady progress rather than vague promises.

How CBT and DBT translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Online sessions can use the same step-by-step exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between meetings.DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. In remote sessions the therapist can coach breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance strategies and help set up practice plans for real-life situations.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Lauren will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs evolve and skills develop.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. For many people online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when stress spikes. Some formats also make shorter skill-focused meetings simpler to arrange. Talk with the matching team about which session style will work best for your routine.
