About Lauren Bunting

Lauren Bunting, LPC, believes meaningful change is most likely when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. She focuses on creating a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak openly about what they are going through and begin working toward the changes they want in their lives.

With more than three years of clinical counseling experience and over ten years as a school counselor, she has supported adolescents, teens, adults, and couples through concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and day-to-day stress. Her background has deepened her respect for each person’s unique story and the resilience they bring to the therapy process.

Her work is rooted in meeting clients where they are and building on existing strengths. Lauren enjoys helping individuals and couples develop healthier communication, explore attachment and relationship concerns, and strengthen emotional well-being. In sessions, she and the client look at the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to distress, while also identifying practical strategies that support growth and healing.

Therapy with Lauren is approached as a partnership. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, she collaborates with clients to clarify goals that reflect their values and aspirations. Through greater self-awareness, more effective coping skills, and stronger connections with themselves and others, clients can work toward lasting changes that support balance, fulfillment, and overall well-being.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Lauren Bunting, LPC, draws from approaches that work especially well in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, respectful relationship where clients feel understood and can explore stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, then practice new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress, with practical strategies clients can apply between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and patterns that feel hard to shift.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren collaborates with clients to clarify goals and choose methods that fit their needs, preferences, and the concerns bringing them to therapy, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy also offers flexibility and access. Clients can meet with Lauren by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support and reflection between scheduled sessions.
