About Lauren
Lauren Giordano is a Florida LCSW with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse histories, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Lauren speaks English and practices from Florida.
Lauren focuses on helping people unpack guilt, shame, and the thoughts that keep them stuck. She uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns that amplify worry and self-blame. Sessions often include practical skills to handle strong feelings and to change unhelpful thinking.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Mindfulness approaches are used to help people notice painful feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by clarifying values and small next steps.
Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques are also part of her toolkit. Narrative methods help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused work keeps attention on what is working and builds small, achievable changes.
People contact Lauren when guilt or shame comes from relationships, past decisions, losses, or ongoing life stress. She helps people sort through those feelings, consider different responses, and plan concrete steps for everyday life. To begin, clients follow the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test thoughts that keep guilt and shame alive. CBT looks at the links between thinking, feeling, and behaving, and it supports practical changes for daily life. Mindfulness Therapy is also used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity to painful memories or self-criticism. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change by clarifying personal goals and identifying small first steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and current situation. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or to maintain continuity when life gets busy. Others prefer shorter check-ins or not being on camera; these practical choices can shape how the approaches are used in sessions. Talk with her through the site matching steps to clarify which formats are offered and which approach feels most useful.
