About Lauren

Lauren Krall is a Pennsylvania licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and a range of other life difficulties.

Background and approach

She works from a collaborative, client-focused stance that values openness and respect, and she aims to create a setting where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. Her training includes approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-informed methods, and she draws on dialectical and emotion-focused tools when they suit a client’s needs.

Lauren has worked with concerns including addictions, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, eating and body image issues, ADHD, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and family and communication problems. Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and Lauren emphasizes teamwork and partnership in the process.

She invites clients to engage in goal-focused work while tailoring interventions to individual preferences and practical life demands, supporting progress at a steady, realistic pace.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches into online care

Lauren commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore patterns in relationships and emotional bonding, helping people understand how early relational experiences influence present interactions and intimacy issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then selects or adapts methods together so the work feels relevant and manageable across sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing work from varied locations and can make it easier to maintain regular contact, track progress, and apply strategies between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
