About Lauren

Lauren Giordano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her approach is practical and grounded. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns. She uses mindfulness to teach simple ways to reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward change.

Narrative Therapy is part of her toolkit when people want to reframe painful stories about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set specific, achievable goals and track progress. These approaches are used together depending on the concern and what a person prefers.

Lauren has worked with a wide range of issues over nearly two decades. That includes abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and relationship communication problems. She also supports people after divorce or domestic violence and those coping with disasters.

Practical problem solving is central to her work. Sessions typically look at current problems, identify small experiments, and review what helps. To start, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, stress, and adjustment problems because it breaks down big issues into achievable steps. Mindfulness Therapy is taught through short exercises and breathing or attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify values and find internal motivation for change by setting small, manageable goals.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what the person finds most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people use tele-sessions to practice new skills between meetings and to bring everyday problems into the conversation more quickly than with occasional in-person visits.
