About Lauren
Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, family concerns, and life transitions. Lauren also supports those carrying guilt and shame and related struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues, and codependency.
Lauren uses an eclectic approach that leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and test new behaviors in small, practical steps. Sessions focus on identifying coping skills that fit everyday life and strengthening awareness of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and the body.
In sessions she balances support with challenge. Conversations move between skills practice, reality-testing thoughts, and tracking how changes feel over time. For someone stuck in repeated cycles of rumination, avoidance, or harsh self-judgment, this practical focus helps bring clearer choices into view.
Lauren talks through relationship patterns, codependent dynamics, and difficulties tied to caregiving or separation. She also addresses obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and struggles with emptiness or life purpose. Work may include building distress tolerance, improving communication, and creating routines that reduce overwhelm.
People who come to Lauren often want straightforward tools and steady feedback. She collaborates on goals and checks progress as therapy continues. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Lauren draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with mindfulness-based techniques as a supporting element. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, guilt, and repetitive worry. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for intense emotions, codependency, and panic. Mindfulness practices help increase present-moment awareness and reduce ruminative thinking.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. She will collaborate with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what actually helps. This is a shared process that uses feedback and small experiments to refine the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems arise, like at home or during a break from work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the realities of daily life so therapy feels practical and usable.
