About Lauren

Lauren Giordano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Lauren provides straightforward support for these concerns and related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and losses.

Her approach focuses on practical tools and clear goals. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox when someone wants to make a change in how they cope or relate to others.

Lauren also addresses long-term or layered problems such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image, and the emotional impact of divorce or domestic violence. She works through experiences that include trauma, grief, or disruption to relationships. Sessions are meant to help people sort priorities and take manageable steps forward.

With many years of practice, Lauren blends talking work with simple exercises people can use between sessions. She helps people name what feels hard, try small experiments, and build skills for everyday life. Her style aims to be clear and practical so people know what to expect.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often involves exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and help with emotional regulation and coping in difficult moments.

Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure. It focuses on exploring personal goals and strengthening motivation through collaborative conversation. Lauren will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring into sessions.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking. The therapist will explain options during the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so a person can focus on a session without rearranging as much of their schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational conversations to an online setting while helping clients practice skills between meetings.
