About Lauren
Lauren Petrocelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. Her profile notes experience supporting people living with disabilities and chronic health issues.
In sessions she works collaboratively to identify immediate concerns and practical next steps. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels most urgent. Clients can expect focus on coping strategies and small behavioral changes to ease day-to-day strain.
Petrocelli draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and on Mindfulness Therapy to build simple attention skills. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. These methods are used to address symptoms such as panic, sleep disruption, anger, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Her background includes work with people facing autism spectrum concerns, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability, and visual impairment. She also lists experience with cancer, chronic pain, and young adult issues. This range informs how she adapts pacing and supports practical problem solving.
Lauren emphasizes collaboration in planning sessions and in choosing techniques that fit daily life. People who want concrete strategies and short-term goals often find this approach useful. To start, she asks clients to identify priorities so sessions stay focused and manageable.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Lauren commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral experiments. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, panic, and sleep disruption by focusing on concrete thinking and behavior changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach basic attention and relaxation skills that reduce stress and improve coping with chronic pain or illness. Solution-Focused Therapy is used alongside these approaches to set clear, short-term goals and to track small wins over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. That choice can change as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Confirm current session format options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, medical appointments, or caregiving by removing travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and let people pick times that match their daily schedule.
