About Lauren
Lauren Rich is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She is direct and empathetic and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel less overwhelmed. Many seek her help for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, low self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD.
Her style is straightforward. She helps people set clear goals and then breaks those goals into small, doable steps. Sessions often include talking through real-life problems, learning new skills, and practicing them between meetings.
Background and approach
Lauren draws on coaching skills when someone wants help with career direction or life purpose. She has worked with people from military and law enforcement backgrounds, first responders, and others in high-stress roles. That experience shapes how she approaches pacing, coping strategies, and practical supports.
She also helps people dealing with disaster-related stress, financial strain, and workplace challenges. Therapeutic methods include client-centered work that follows the person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and dialectical behavior strategies for handling intense emotions. She can also use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address traumatic memories when appropriate.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs a boost to make changes. Lauren practices in Oklahoma and offers sessions in English. She works with adults who want a practical, goal-focused approach.
The emphasis is on steady progress and finding solutions that fit each person’s life.
How Lauren’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy places your priorities first and focuses sessions on what matters to you most. It helps people clarify goals, make decisions, and guide the pace and content of therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and habits that fuel stress and anxiety. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve sleep, mood, and day-to-day functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful when reactions feel overwhelming or when someone wants better ways to cope in high-pressure situations.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat lets people check in between sessions or fit brief work into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work and life.
