Lauren J. M. Lanier, MA, LCMHC
Adult and Adolescent Therapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I received my master’s degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in biblical counseling. I completed additional professional counseling courses through Liberty University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for licensing purposes.
I primarily work with teens and adults who are dealing with:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Compulsive behaviors
- Difficult life transitions
My therapeutic approach draws on insights and techniques from:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for the treatment of PTSD
Given my theological training, I often work with clients who express a desire for
- Christian counseling
My counseling experience includes both individual and group counseling, and I have worked with a variety of life stages and demographics. As a part of my graduate school program, I enjoyed counseling undergraduate, graduate students, and young adults. I also worked with an inpatient program for women who chose to exit the adult entertainment industry or who had been rescued from trafficking. Post-graduate work includes counseling in a local church and mental health setting. I have a special interest in providing counseling for adolescents in the foster care system as they adjust to new relationships and life transitions.
