About Lauren

Lauren Giordano is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She speaks English and works with adults who are looking for practical steps to feel steadier in daily life.

Lauren uses straightforward talk and simple tools in sessions. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and then tries small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on what the person wants to accomplish rather than on jargon or long tests.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and relationship concerns such as commitment and communication issues. Lauren also supports people coping with abandonment, separation and the aftermath of disaster. She brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to these areas.

In therapy she draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused strategies. Those approaches are used to build coping skills, reduce intense emotions, and set achievable goals. Lauren adapts interventions to each person’s situation and preferences.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. Lauren practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts her work in English.

How these approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. In practice this means setting small experiments between sessions and reviewing what changed. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage intense feelings and improve day to day calm. These practices are short and can be repeated as needed. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters most and build small, realistic steps toward those goals by exploring values and removing barriers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and rhythm. Sessions may blend strategies so the plan matches what the person wants and what helps in real life.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and to follow up more consistently as goals evolve.
