About Lauren
Lauren Pernell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings six years of experience working with people who are stressed, anxious, or facing big life changes. Lauren has worked with clients across age groups in both individual and group settings.
Her background includes counseling for relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, and workplace stress. She has supported people coping with caregiver strain, communication problems, and the challenges of midlife and life-purpose questions. Lauren has also worked with veterans on transition-related issues and with people trying to stop smoking or vaping.
In group settings she has guided adults through relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. She has also run groups and individual sessions addressing ADHD-related challenges and career transitions. Those experiences shape how she plans practical, goal-focused work with each person.
Lauren uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. She commonly applies approaches that help people set clear goals, manage strong emotions, and develop motivation for change. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps that fit a person’s daily life.
People who come to her usually want help coping with stress, improving communication, or making major life changes. The first meetings are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent deciding what approach will work best moving forward.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many of the approaches Lauren uses focus on clear goals, emotion skills, and motivation for change. Solution-focused work centers on identifying a practical next step and building on small successes; this helps with workplace stress and life transitions. Dialectical behavior techniques teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in relationships. Trauma-focused cognitive work aims to reduce distress from past events and increase present-day coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the beginning of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That makes sessions more relevant and helps measure progress together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during work breaks or between commitments. It can also let people use audio-only or shorter visits when that better matches their needs or daily schedule.
