About Lauren
Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She trained initially in the UK and later completed graduate studies in counseling in West Virginia, earning dual master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling.
Background and approach
Over her career she has worked in a range of settings and shifted focus toward supporting adult clients after time as a school counselor and bereavement practitioner. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Lauren works with people facing relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and life transitions, self-esteem and career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other challenges. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring treatment plans to each person’s circumstances and goals.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes practical strategies and personal values. Lauren frames therapy as a partnership aimed at helping individuals navigate change, build coping skills, and move toward a more fulfilling life at a pace that fits them.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Lauren frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, supporting people facing grief, chronic stress, or difficult transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early experiences influence current relationships and communication, helping clients address family dynamics and connection challenges. Choosing the right approach is part of the process; the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills practice, and supportive coaching in formats that match a client's lifestyle and comfort level.
