Lauren Jetton, LPC

Lauren Jetton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses clear, practical approaches to help people through hard times. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other methods to address symptoms and day-to-day challenges. Lauren speaks directly and calmly, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. Over seven years she has worked in varied settings, including churches, the local school system, correctional settings, and in community home visits. Those experiences shaped her ability to meet people where they are and to adapt how she works to different situations.

In sessions she may use CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to clarify values and build practical skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox for regulating strong emotions and increasing present-moment focus.

Lauren helps with a wide range of concerns, such as addiction, trauma, grief, mood disorders, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship issues, ADHD, and chronic stress. She explains steps plainly and collaborates with people on realistic goals and next steps.

Her work emphasizes steady progress over time. People can expect straightforward discussion, skill practice, and attention to coping strategies that fit daily life.

How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online

Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits; CBT sessions focus on specific problems and practical exercises that can be practiced between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and teach ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Client-Centered methods create a supportive space where the therapist listens and follows the person's pace rather than directing every step.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest approaches to try. Plans are adjusted over time so the work fits the person’s life and grows from early progress and feedback.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper sessions and skill demonstrations. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, journaling between sessions, and ongoing reminders about techniques. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
