Hello! Asking for help during a difficult time is not easy, so I want to make sure you feel comfortable, heard, respected, and cared for as you process whatever you need help with. I hope to help by creating a safe place to let you explore what you need to feel better now and in the future.
I have my Master's in Social Work and am licensed in California and Texas. In a family treatment center, I worked with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and trauma/abuse. I've also helped adults struggling with developmental disabilities, substance abuse addictions, adjustment disorder, and other mental health challenges discover and reach long and short term personal, emotional, and professional goals.
I am a client-centered counselor focused on helping you reach your personal therapeutic goals during our time together. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to help individuals and couples become more self aware and work through challenges they struggle with independently. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing techniques. These tools help many individuals understand what they want from therapy, and help us work together to get you where you want to be. We go at the pace that you are ready for and I will check in to ensure that you are feeling comfortable with the pace and progress all along this journey.
You've taken a great step towards enhancing your emotional and mental health. I look forward to working on the next steps with you.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Coaching, ADHD
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Miller. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Lauren is thoughtful, attentive, and kind. In my time with her, she has taught me many practices to help me through moments of crisis and, importantly, to support my long-term mental wellness as well. It's clear that her thorough training is founded on a very genuine intention to help others.
My experience over my years of various types of therapy has shown how rare it is to find someone who is as impactful as Lauren has been for me. I am grateful for her support and expertise and guidance.

I absolutely love working with Lauren! She has given me a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings, is empathetic and educational, and very good at keeping the foundation of the conversation Christ-centered. Although some sessions may be heavy, I never feel the weight of what we discuss because she redirects the end of the session to focus on the positives. I look forward to each session with her!

Lauren is an excellent counselor. She makes it very easy which is what I was hoping for in my first counseling expet experience. She is so kind, intelligent, and great at pinpointing topics to dive deeper in. I am very pleased that I was matched with her!
