Lauren Latham

Lauren Latham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 13 years of experience working in both the U.S. and the U.K. She helps people who are facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, career questions, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Lauren trained first in the U.K. and later completed a dual masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from West Virginia University. She has worked as a bereavement counselor and as a school counselor, and more recently has focused on helping adult clients navigate life changes and relational strain.

In sessions she uses straightforward talk and practical tools. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, motivational interviewing, and client-centered listening. That means clients can expect an emphasis on values, clear behavior steps, and understanding relationship patterns.

Lauren often helps people who feel stuck after a big change, those sorting out what matters next, and people carrying loss or ongoing stress. She will look at thoughts and behaviors, examine relationship patterns, and practice small steps that fit day-to-day life.

Her background across bereavement support, schools, and adult mental health gives a range of experience to draw on. People who want practical, conversational support around life purpose, family problems, or coping after loss may find her approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Lauren uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clearer about what matters to them and to practice actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and trying small, value-based steps to move forward.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which many people find useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily demands, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as progress and needs change so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The therapist's profile does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Phone or video sessions let people connect without commuting, and shorter check-ins can fit into busy days. Ask which formats are available when you schedule the first meeting.
