Lauren Abasheva

Lauren is a competent and caring counselor who has the ability to listen carefully and focus on the important questions. She sees the big picture and can also deal with the bothersome details. Highly recommended.

Lauren is an excellent therapist!

The responses were quick and to the point. Although my problems are not catastrophic, they were troubling me greatly and I had nobody to talk with. This is just what I needed.

Lauren and I just "met" and I already feel like I have someone that understands me and my needs. She responds in a timely manner and it is obvious that she takes the time to read what I have going on and responding in a way that makes me critically think. I couldn't be happier to have Lauren in my corner.

Lauren is one of the best counselor’s I’ve ever had. She is understanding and prompt with her responses. She is really helping me with my issues and has made me think about things I wouldn’t have had I not came here. I feel stronger every day with Lauren as a counselor. I definitely recommend her!

Laura helped me significantly through a difficult time in my life where there were a lot of confusions and complications to work through on a deeply emotional level. Especially after hearing her voice, I knew that I could trust her. She handled everything with grace and I felt nothing but utter respect. Especially in times of need where I would be sending her messages on the daily, she would always respond to me in a prompt and timely manner. I always felt her responses were thorough and fair. I have now worked through what I needed to, and I am grateful for all the empathy and support that Laura has given me. If I were to need counseling again, I would work with her in a heartbeat.

Lauren is awesome! I felt completely comfortable and able to be 100% open and honest with her. We worked through my acute issues, but due to health/financial issues I have to take a break. If I need this kind of help again I will definitely be back to work with Lauren! Five stars!

Patient listener and easy to talk to. Very helpful for people with anxiety.

When I began my sessions with BetterHelp I was skeptical of how well online counseling would work for me, but after almost a month working with Lauren I feel better mentally than I have in a while. It was reassuring to receive her messages and helped me make peace with the issues that I was having. Lauren was relatable and overall a great counselor!

I feel like I was matched with the perfect counselor for me. She focuses on a part of my life that is commonly taboo, but I need to talk about and work through. She comes across as a real person I'm talking to as well, making jokes, real-life references, and connecting with me. She makes me feel supported, and safe in our space.

As someone who has been looking for a therapist that I get along with for many years now, Lauren is the first who I feel legitimately comfortable with. She's very understanding, and more than anything she has helped me to better understand myself so far.

But even beyond comfort, she has helped me to improve myself, helping me to see my problems from a perspective that I would otherwise have not considered. I hope to continue working with her for quite some time, as she is one of the best therapists I've spoken with in my lifetime thus far.

I just signed up not too long ago, and Lauren has been great so far. She is extremely prompt when responding. At this point, I'm most comfortable with sticking to email conversation and she's been on board since day one. She seems to "read between the lines" and even though we're not in person, she asks questions that get to core issues. She's already made me think about a few sensitive situations in my life differently, and I'm thankful.

She makes me feel very comfortable like I'm talking to a close friend who has my best interest at heart and asking the questions that can help me reflect and grow emotionally.
