Lauren Krall , LPC

Lauren Krall is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She aims to make therapy straightforward and responsive for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and issues around intimacy or self-esteem.

Krall brings 17 years of experience working with concerns such as addictions, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and eating-related issues. She also helps with family-of-origin questions, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of domestic violence or separation. Her work includes supporting people who identify as LGBT and those navigating caregiver stress or blended-family dynamics.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most, then pairs that with cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and patterns that repeat in relationships.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical tools. Clients can expect straightforward skill-building, calm reflection on painful events, and step-by-step plans for handling intense feelings. Krall describes therapy as a team process where the client’s priorities set the pace.

She works from Pennsylvania and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current connections and helps people change repeating patterns of distance or clinginess. It is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and repair after conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or unhealthy routines. It suits people who want structured tools to manage mood and daily functioning.

Choosing an approach is a team decision. The therapist will learn about the client’s goals and try techniques together to see what helps. Sessions may shift between listening-focused, skills practice, and emotion-focused exercises based on what the client needs and prefers.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while still using attachment and CBT approaches effectively.
