About Lapree
Lapree Crawford is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also helps with family concerns and common struggles such as guilt and shame.
Lapree uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels heavy. She focuses on practical steps and clearer communication rather than medical labels. Sessions typically include talking through recent events, looking at patterns in thoughts and behavior, and trying small changes to test what helps.
She pays attention to how relationships and finances can add pressure. People bring worries about abandonment, loneliness, workplace stress, money, and direction in life. Lapree helps people sort those threads and prioritize what to address first.
Her approach aims to make decisions feel less overwhelming. She invites clients to notice small shifts in thinking and routine. Over time those shifts can affect mood, motivation, and how someone shows up at work or with family.
Lapree works in English and accepts clients who live outside the United States. Before a first session she asks people to describe their main concerns so they can start on focused goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches are practical ways to work through guilt and shame. One approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns by tracking automatic thoughts and testing them against real events. This can reduce repetitive blame and make decision-making clearer. Another approach focuses on behavioral experiments and small, planned activities to rebuild confidence and re-engage with daily life. These tasks help test assumptions and create manageable steps toward feeling differently.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client's goals, life demands, and comfort level. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can need less bandwidth and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Ask about formats when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
