About Lara
Lara Fallon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 25 years of practice experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem problems, addictions, and relationship and family concerns.
Lara focuses on practical skills and clear steps. She talks through communication problems, coping with life transitions, and workplace stress. She also helps people facing chronic health challenges and caregiver strain. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life more manageable.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and problems that come with blended families and aging. She also addresses body image, commitment and control issues, and concerns linked to HIV/AIDS. This range comes from a career working with adults through many life stages.
Lara uses approaches that encourage active problem solving and present-focused work. She draws on client-centered methods that value the person’s experience, and cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are part of her toolbox when emotional regulation is needed.
People who come for counseling can expect straightforward conversations about goals and practical strategies to try between sessions. Lara emphasizes building coping skills, improving communication, and planning steps to handle stressors. To begin, follow the practice’s intake steps and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care with an LCSW
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. It involves listening closely and helping people clarify their goals and values so they can make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood.The right approach is something to find together. Lara will help clients identify which methods feel most useful and adapt techniques to match goals and day-to-day demands. That collaborative process can begin in the first few sessions as priorities become clearer.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, and medical needs. It also lets people use shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and fit therapy into a busy week. Licensed professionals will help plan practical steps and homework that can be used between sessions to address stress, relationships, and coping with life changes.
