About Lauren

Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She trained originally in the UK and completed a Master’s in Counseling at West Virginia University. Her practice focuses on relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, grief, self-esteem, career matters, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Lauren draws on straightforward, practical conversations. She listens for what matters most, then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior. Sessions often include concrete steps to try between meetings and space to talk through strong feelings that come up.

Her background includes work in bereavement support and school counseling as well as adult clinical settings. That mix shaped a flexible way of working that balances problem-solving with attention to how early relationships affect current life. She uses approaches that focus on thoughts, behavior, and values to help clients move toward clearer choices.

Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside attachment-informed work and client-centered conversations. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas inform shorter-term planning when people want specific changes. These methods are used to address grief, mood concerns, relationship strain, and coping with major life shifts.

People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style that names options and offers small experiments to try. Lauren works in English and accepts international clients. To start, visitors follow the practice’s intake steps to schedule an initial session and discuss what form of support would fit them best.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small, manageable actions that align with those values. It’s useful for worries about social situations, low mood, and getting stuck when change feels hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and unhelpful avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence present reactions and communication; it helps when relationship patterns and trust issues show up in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on goals, current problems, and personal preferences. That process can shift over time as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it possible to schedule sessions around work or caregiving duties. The therapist will discuss which session rhythm and format best supports the client during the initial intake.
