About Lauren
Lauren Bunting, LPC, uses a collaborative, human-centered approach to help people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and heard. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings as well as on understanding what keeps problems active.
She draws on ten years of counseling experience, including work in school settings and clinical counseling roles. That background exposed her to a wide range of concerns such as mood difficulties, relationship and communication problems, attachment issues, and panic disorder and panic attacks. This helps her tailor conversations to each person’s real-life needs.
Therapy sessions emphasize building on strengths and learning hands-on skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Lauren also integrates client-centered and solution-focused ideas so the work stays practical. Together with clients she sets clear, values-guided goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on improving day-to-day coping, communication, and mood.
She supports people working through family problems, blended family concerns, and issues with self-esteem and self-harm urges. Lauren keeps language simple and concrete, and she breaks strategies down into steps that are easy to try between sessions.
For those interested in starting, she helps people clarify priorities, build realistic plans, and practice new skills that can reduce panic and other intense reactions over time.
