Lauren Fawley , LPC

Lauren Fawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Lauren supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better self-esteem, or help with relationship and family concerns. She practices in Arizona and offers services in English.

Lauren uses straightforward, goal-oriented work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing inform how she listens and helps people find motivation to change.

Her background includes five years as an outpatient therapist in the Phoenix area and additional years providing remote counseling. That mix gave her experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term care for depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. She has supported people through life transitions, parenting strain, caregiving stress, fertility concerns, and chronic illness challenges.

Lauren approaches sessions in a client-directed way. She works with each person to set goals that fit their life and pace. Sessions often include practical tools to manage symptoms, simple behavioral experiments, and check-ins on what’s working.

People who choose Lauren can expect a respectful, collaborative tone. She aims to listen closely, help clients build skills, and support steady progress toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online care

Lauren often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that make problems worse and then practice different behaviors to change outcomes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day struggles because it focuses on clear steps and skills to try.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. That approach can help with grief, addiction recovery, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing supports readiness to change by exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation in short, practical conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist will adjust plans over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, keeping the process collaborative and focused on real priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you use visual cues for a fuller conversation; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
