About Lauren

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 7 years of experience, Lauren Sletta helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Lauren keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens closely and helps clients name what feels most urgent. Conversations focus on manageable steps rather than abstract theory. She aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and understandable.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people clarify what they want to change.

Lauren uses client-centered ways of working to keep the pace set by the person in the room. That means sessions often begin with the client’s immediate concern and move to skills or reflections that fit that concern. She balances practical tools with conversations about meaning and patterns.

People come to her for things like persistent worry, social anxiety, shame and guilt, or the aftereffects of trauma. She pays attention to attachment issues and self-worth when those themes appear. Sessions are intended to be a place to name what’s happening and try small, actionable changes.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches shape remote work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior. In sessions this can mean noticing how trust and closeness show up in current relationships and trying small changes to how people connect with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social worry by practicing new ways of thinking and testing them in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses so techniques are adjusted to what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets during a session without switching locations. Discuss scheduling and format when you set up the first appointment so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
