About Lauren
Lauren Fehlberg is an AASW counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers a calm, practical approach and talks with clients about what they need right now. Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth to make it easier to take the next step.
Lauren uses a mix of cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help reduce anxious thoughts and build steady habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose meaningful actions. Sessions focus on simple skills that can be tried between meetings.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current responses. This can be useful for worries about connection, self-worth and interpersonal behaviour. Lauren works with people facing grief, parenting strain, body image and eating concerns as well as panic disorder and panic attacks.
Clients dealing with depression, social anxiety, guilt, shame or feelings of isolation can work with her on small, manageable goals. She helps caregivers navigate stress and supports people exploring life purpose or forgiveness. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Sessions are conducted in English from Australia and aimed at adults seeking clearer coping tools. Lauren encourages people to bring practical questions and real-life situations into the room so therapy produces useful change.
How online therapy uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can reduce the hold anxiety or panic has on daily life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Work typically includes spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behavioural changes to shift how people respond to anxiety and stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the nervous system and increase awareness of moment-to-moment experience. This can be useful for panic attacks, rumination and general worry.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and tailor a blend of approaches that fits your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as you make progress.
