About Lauren

Lauren Mirkin MD, LCPC brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, eating and body-image concerns, parenting and family difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based perspective to help clients move past overwhelming emotions, unhelpful thinking, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning and relationships. Her background includes training in clinical nutrition and health coaching, which she weaves into care when clients’ physical health, eating patterns, or wellness goals intersect with mental health needs.

Mirkin’s practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside exploration of underlying issues such as attachment wounds, family-of-origin dynamics, and identity or life-purpose questions. She has a history of working with mood and personality concerns, chronic illness and pain, intimacy and commitment issues, and challenges like isolation and midlife transition.

Based in Maryland, she combines evidence-informed tools and a collaborative stance to support clients in building more satisfying routines, clearer priorities, and improved emotional balance.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Lauren Mirkin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to clients' goals. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with focus. Mindfulness-based strategies help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can improve sleep, emotional regulation, and responses to chronic pain or persistent worry.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to evaluate which methods match their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts the treatment plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through multiple formats to increase flexibility and accessibility. Clients can choose video visits for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when video is not convenient, or live chat and text-based messaging for brief check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit ongoing care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints.
