About Lauren
Lauren Spencer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She blends talk therapy with body-centered work and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Lauren focuses on helping clients notice how the body, thoughts, and feelings connect.
She uses somatic techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-focused methods to support people coping with trauma, abuse, abandonment, or family of origin issues. Sessions aim to reduce panic and social anxiety while building clearer communication and stronger self-worth.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Lauren listens first, then helps people name the patterns that cause pain. She offers skills for calming the body, shifting distressing thoughts, and rebuilding healthier relationship habits.
Clients also work on boundaries, body image, and recovering from sexual assault or domestic violence when relevant. Lauren trained at Regis University and has been practicing for six years. She integrates practices from yoga and mindfulness to help clients feel more present in their bodies.
Over time she developed coaching-style programs focused on self-love, purpose, and personal empowerment. Therapy with Lauren mixes relaxation techniques, talk-based reflection, and simple rituals when they fit a client's values. The goal is practical change - tools people can use between sessions to navigate work, parenting roles, romantic challenges, and life transitions with more ease.
How somatic and attachment work translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work helps people notice physical sensations tied to emotions and learn simple ways to regulate the body. This can include breath work, grounding exercises, and movement cues that reduce panic and help with anxiety or trauma symptoms. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change unhelpful responses by rewiring how they connect and communicate.Lauren uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. She collaborates with clients to choose which approaches feel most useful. Together they test tools and adjust strategies based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions.
Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets a therapist observe body cues and guide in-the-moment regulation. Phone sessions offer flexibility for times when video isn't possible. Messaging and live chat allow quick check-ins and practice of skills between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue progress from home or while traveling.
