About Lara

Lara Fallon is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people cope with emotional challenges. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and grounded, aimed at practical steps a person can use day to day.

In sessions she listens first and then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She often uses approaches that focus on current problems and skills building, so people leave with tools they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to how relationships, work, health, and life events shape feelings and choices. Lara has worked with people navigating parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major life changes. She offers help for relationship and communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and struggles with commitment and control.

She also addresses addiction concerns, body image, and issues tied to aging or HIV / AIDS. Her sessions blend client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques when helpful. She uses solution-focused ideas for clear goal setting and DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed.

The result is a flexible approach that matches what each person needs in the moment. Lara practices in Missouri as an LCSW and speaks English. She provides support for coping, repairing daily routines, and building skills to manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of direction.

Online support

Therapeutic methods adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to what each person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. These methods are often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try techniques that seem to fit. If something isn't working, adjustments are made together so the work stays focused and useful for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to get brief support between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
