About Lauren
Lauren Bunting is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with ten years of counseling experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and family issues, including blended family challenges.
She previously worked many years as a school counselor and has clinical counseling experience. That background shaped how she listens and responds to day-to-day pressures. She tends to focus on clear, practical steps rather than long explanations.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing strain. She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits that often underlie repeating conflicts. Together with a client she will name small changes to try between sessions and check what helps.
Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused tools. Those approaches are used to reduce panic, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns.
For people in stephouseholds, she addresses merging routines, loyalty conflicts, co-parenting strain, and building clearer boundaries. Sessions aim to strengthen day-to-day functioning and communication rather than to provide legal or custody advice.
To begin, a prospective client follows the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals so they can decide what changes to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means checking what helps and adjusting the plan as work proceeds.
