About Lauren
Lauren Rich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oklahoma with 16 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, sleeping problems, depression, ADHD, and the strain of life changes.
Her background includes work with military and law enforcement populations, sports performance settings, and high-stress careers. She also brings experience from executive coaching. That mix informs a direct, practical style that focuses on real tasks and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Sessions typically center on what someone wants to change next. Lauren listens, identifies practical steps, and helps people practice skills between meetings. She uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and sharpen priorities.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools to shift thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotions feel intense, and EMDR may be offered for processing traumatic memories. Motivational interviewing supports people who are ready to move toward a specific change.
Lauren is comfortable with work-related pressures, first responder issues, veterans and armed forces concerns, and money or workplace stress. She also addresses process addictions, sexual concerns, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and challenges faced by people with visual impairment. People who want coaching-style focus on goals often find her direct style helpful.
BHow sessions work
How Lauren integrates methods in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their goals and feel understood; it helps when someone needs to make sense of priorities or decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns like anxious thinking or sleep disruption. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides specific skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for panic or relationship friction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most helpful. Together they choose an approach and adjust it as needed so sessions stay practical and focused on measurable progress.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, training, or caregiving responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if bandwidth or comfort is an issue. The emphasis is on fitting therapy into everyday life while using CBT and DBT skills, client-centered planning, and EMDR where appropriate to address trauma or recurring distress.
