About Lauren
Lauren Sletta is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. Lauren also supports people navigating LGBT concerns and issues around guilt and shame.
She prefers straightforward conversation and listening first. Clients can expect a calm, person-centered approach that focuses on understanding what matters to them. Lauren aims to help people name painful feelings, clarify what they want, and try practical steps that fit their life.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shaped current patterns and uses thought-and-behavior strategies to test new ways of coping. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing are also part of her practice when people need emotion regulation skills or to move through ambivalence.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Lauren listens for patterns in relationships and day-to-day reactions, then helps build small, manageable experiments people can try between sessions. She also addresses social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and struggles with self-love through this mix of approaches.
People who want to start will fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Lauren does not accept international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Lauren integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate to online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions; online conversations explore those relationship patterns and moments when old habits reappear. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses; that often leads to concrete between-session experiments people can try and report back on. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She starts by listening, then suggests one or two strategies to test and adjusts them as needed based on how they land for the person. Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during shorter breaks. They can also be adapted to focus on skills practice, thought records, or narrative work depending on what a person needs and prefers.Areas of expertise
