About Lauren

Lauren Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who combines talk therapy with body-centered practices. She brings a holistic perspective that blends mental, physical, and spiritual elements. Lauren aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, career transitions, and depression through practical skills and self-awareness.

She frames therapy as a space to understand symptoms and how they fit into a person’s life story. Sessions include conversation to clarify thoughts and feelings, gentle body-focused techniques to ease tension, and ritual-based practices drawn from her yoga background. The goal is to give people tools they can use long after sessions end.

Lauren trained at Regis University and completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2012. She has worked in private practice since 2014 and has about six years of professional counseling experience. Over time she developed programs aimed at empowerment, body image work, and building self-love practices.

Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, intimacy and sexuality, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. She also helps people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, codependency, family of origin concerns, and the strains that come with life changes.

In sessions Lauren uses a mix of approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Jungian ideas. She invites clients to shape the pace and focus of work so therapy fits their values and goals.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection patterns formed in relationships and helps people recognize and change those patterns to feel more secure and connected. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment wounds, and healing abandonment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own experience and choices. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and helps people find their own solutions to self-esteem, life changes, or career crossroads.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or panic symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, CBT exercises, and attachment-focused conversations to an online setting so practical coping skills and body-aware techniques are still part of ongoing care.
