Lauren Krolick

Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, family-related issues, and those coping with life changes. Lauren describes her work as practical and down-to-earth, focused on identifying patterns and building coping skills.

Her style combines elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills to manage intense feelings, and try small behavioral changes between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and action oriented, with time spent on what feels most pressing in daily life.

Lauren pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, including issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and divorce or separation. She also addresses caregiver stress, control struggles, and problems tied to guilt, shame, or isolation. Life purpose and feelings of emptiness are part of the work when they come up.

For people who deal with panic attacks, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, or long-standing dependent personality patterns, sessions include practical tools and repeated practice. The aim is to reduce overwhelming moments and increase predictable ways to cope.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a collaborative process. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and can begin by completing the intake questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Lauren commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small changes to shift mood and stress levels. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and obsessive thinking.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. DBT techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships become strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, current struggles, and what feels most useful. That plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family obligations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that rely less on video when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Licensed professionals provide the same structured approaches remotely, adapting exercises and between-session practice to the online setting.
