About Lauren

LPC Lauren Bunting is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses attachment issues, blended family concerns, communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, and self-harm. Lauren uses Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice.

Lauren frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for patterns in how someone thinks, feels, and connects with others. Sessions often include straightforward skill practice and problem-solving alongside talking through personal history. She aims to help clients notice habits that keep problems going and try small, manageable changes.

Her background includes more than ten years as a school counselor plus clinical counseling experience. That mix informs work with communication and relationship patterns, especially where family and blended-family dynamics are involved. She draws on CBT and DBT for mood and panic symptoms, and on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities.

In practical terms Lauren helps people develop clearer communication, reduce intense emotional reactions, and manage anxiety and low mood. She uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress. Treatment combines talking, learning specific skills, and trying new behaviors between sessions.

Sessions are aimed at measurable changes rather than vague goals. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want to change and bring that into the first meeting. Lauren works in English and operates from Missouri.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. The therapist follows a person’s lead, clarifies concerns, and helps prioritize what matters most in sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce anxiety, and change behaviors that maintain depression or panic symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help with panic, mood instability, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or choose sessions that match bandwidth and camera preferences. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session length will work best for day-to-day life.
