Practical approaches for real-life change, online

Lauren Chianciola draws from evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable responses. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel stuck or conflicted about change. Through collaborative conversations, it helps clarify values, strengthen motivation, and build momentum, which can be useful when working through habits, substance-related concerns, or major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive foundation by emphasizing empathy, respect, and the client’s lived experience, helping people feel understood while they explore identity, relationships, trauma, and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and what they are facing right now, adjusting the focus as needs evolve.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from the comfort of home.
