About Lauren
Lauren Porter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with seven years of experience. She works primarily with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, mood instability, addiction, trauma, and related concerns.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage symptoms and handle life changes. Sessions focus on identifying current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small behavior changes that fit daily life. Lauren centers the client's goals and collaborates on steps toward clearer routines and stronger coping.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to examine thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Jungian ideas inform attention to relationship patterns and deeper emotional themes when useful.
In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers exercises clients can try between meetings. This can include thought records, grounding or mindfulness practices, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. Progress is tracked against the goals set together.
Lauren has experience addressing parenting stress, grief, relationship strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue alongside mood and anxiety disorders. She offers therapy for people concerned about bipolar disorder, anger, self-esteem, and LGBT-related issues.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping through life transitions by shifting attention away from unhelpful struggles and toward chosen behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns with practical tools such as thought records, activity scheduling, and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional patterns in relationships and personal processing, helping people recognize and reorganize their emotional responses when relationships or attachment issues are a concern.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, try methods collaboratively, and adjust techniques based on what the client finds useful. Goals, preferences, and real-life constraints guide which approaches get prioritized.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences and practical considerations during the matching and intake process so appointments can be arranged to fit everyday life.
