Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren Fehlberg uses a range of evidence-informed approaches to support people online, tailoring techniques to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns formed early in life and how they influence current connections and emotional regulation - it is useful for attachment concerns, relationship difficulties, and caregiver stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren works with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, combining strategies where appropriate and adjusting the plan as goals and preferences evolve. This shared decision-making ensures therapy fits the individual’s situation and priorities.

Online therapy with Lauren is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage scheduling around work or family, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists.
