About Lauren
Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She brings a warm, empathetic presence to sessions and focuses on practical goals that help people manage stress and family challenges.
She began her career in a community mental health agency where she learned how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other pressures affect daily life and family relationships. That experience shaped her interest in supporting people who face anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from abuse or neglect.
Lauren has spent over a decade working with young adults and adolescents, especially those dealing with anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She has a particular interest in supporting women who are newly engaged or new parents, helping them navigate the intense changes those seasons bring.
Her approach is client-centered and goal oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear objectives, tackle stressors, and track progress. Mindfulness techniques are also woven into sessions when helpful for coping and self-awareness.
Lauren earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. She is also comfortable discussing spirituality and faith when clients want to bring those topics into therapy.
Outside of work she balances family life with her husband and understands the difficulties of juggling careers and parenting. She welcomes conversations about practical strategies that fit a busy family schedule.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques that feel like a good fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for more flexible scheduling around work and family obligations. If you prefer to discuss spiritual beliefs as part of care, mention that when you schedule so it can be included in planning.
