About Lauren

Dr. Lauren Serdencuk draws on a client-centered and solution-oriented style to guide people through change and healing.

Background and approach

As an LMFT practicing in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience, she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma-related concerns. Her approach emphasizes practical steps toward better coping and clearer goals while attending to personal values and lived experience.

She also works with issues such as relationship struggles, grief, intimacy and self-esteem, sleep problems, career transitions, and emotional regulation including anger and impulsivity. Dr.

Serdencuk pays attention to family dynamics and blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance-related challenges, using narrative and motivational strategies when helpful. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules, and she supports clients who are ready to explore change and try new ways of managing life’s difficulties.

Approaches for Online Growth and Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, impulsivity, and addictive urges. It is goal-oriented and often includes exercises to practice between sessions to reinforce change.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult feelings, teaching attention skills that can reduce reactivity to stress and improve sleep, emotional regulation, and focus. This approach pairs well with skill-based work to support ongoing coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, explore what methods feel most useful, and adapt strategies over time so treatment fits each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats support continuity of care and make it possible to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational conversations in ways that align with daily life and individual routines.
