About Lauren

Lauren Rich is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, sleep problems, and transitions in work and life.

Background and approach

She draws on a direct but empathetic approach to guide clients who are ready to make changes and want practical tools for coping, growth, and clearer decision-making. Her background includes work related to military, law enforcement, sports performance, and other high-stress careers, and she has experience with executive coaching which informs a results-oriented style.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s goals. Lauren also addresses compassion fatigue, career and financial concerns, panic and social anxiety, process and sex addictions, and recovery from disasters.

Located in Oklahoma and offering services in English, she accepts international clients and works with a range of life challenges using a practical, collaborative stance.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care



Lauren often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace stress because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, panic, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors a mix of approaches that fit those needs rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or travel, and they allow the therapeutic work to continue regardless of geographic location.
