Lauren Latham, LPC

Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from West Virginia with 13 years of professional experience. She combines earlier work in bereavement and school counseling with adult-focused practice. Lauren aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people facing big life challenges.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward meaningful change. Attachment-Based ideas guide work around relationship patterns and trust issues.

Lauren commonly supports people coping with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, career questions, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and problems that come from chronic illness or caregiver stress. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and realistic steps forward.

Her style is warm and direct. She listens closely and then offers strategies you can try between sessions. Progress is shaped around each person’s goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Lauren has a background that includes practice in both the U.S. and the U.K., plus graduate training in clinical mental health and school counseling. That mix informs a flexible approach to common life stresses. If someone wants a therapist who blends practical techniques with attention to relationships, Lauren offers that combination.

Practical approaches delivered online

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood issues, and setbacks that keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on; it focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on relationship patterns and trust, helping people notice how early bonds influence current reactions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods and adjust course based on what feels most helpful, combining techniques from different approaches when that fits the client’s needs.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is useful for a full session feel, phone is a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
