Lauren Spencer

Lauren Spencer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who blends talk therapy with a mind-body approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with body image and self-esteem.

Lauren describes therapy as a practical process. She listens to each person's story and links symptoms to life experience. She introduces tools people can use between sessions to soothe the body, organize thoughts, and build healthier habits.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered work to strengthen relationships and self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and ease panic or social anxiety. Emotionally-focused elements guide conversations about closeness and emotional safety.

Lauren also integrates Jungian perspectives and somatic practices from her background as a yoga teacher. That combination aims to help people notice bodily signals, explore deeper meanings, and build practical routines that support daily life.

She has worked in private practice since graduating from Regis University in 2014 and brings six years of counseling experience. People who meet with her often find a mix of gentle somatic exercises, focused talk therapy, and goal-oriented coaching to move forward.

If you are looking to address eating and food-related concerns alongside anxiety, body image, or relationship issues, Lauren includes those topics among her focus areas and can discuss them during an initial match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Online sessions use the same mix of approaches Lauren brings to in-person care. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people build clearer expectations and safer emotional connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can discover their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific thoughts and behaviors to reduce panic, social anxiety, and low mood through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusts based on how things progress, and checks in about goals and preferences throughout treatment.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use sessions for focused skill practice, emotional processing, or coaching work without rearranging a whole day.
