Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online
Lauren Knepp draws from several practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses that better support day-to-day life, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most to them. It often supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of worry, avoidance, or self-criticism. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing and what they want to change, then tailors the work to their goals, preferences, and pace.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can connect with Lauren through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are.
