About Lauren
Lauren Daoust offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety, or major life changes. She writes and talks plainly, and helps clients notice what matters most and take small, doable steps forward. Lauren is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she brings a steady, direct presence to sessions.
Before becoming a therapist she spent many years in hospice and hospital social work. That background shaped how she listens for both emotional and physical signals.
Background and approach
It also taught her to balance empathy with clear, helpful suggestions people can try between sessions. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and helps people practice new ways of coping when old strategies stop working.
Sessions often include simple skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness methods that people can use right away. Lauren also focuses on concerns like compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and life transitions. She supports those working through grief, trauma, postpartum mood changes, and challenges with self-esteem or intimacy.
The work aims to reconnect people with personal strengths and steady routines. Typical first meetings are low pressure and practical. She will listen to the main concerns, explain options, and suggest an initial path forward.
People who prefer straightforward guidance, gentle challenge, and tools they can apply between sessions may find her approach a fit.

Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and real life change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters after big changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can be useful for people who notice repeating relationship conflicts or fear of abandonment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences, and suggest methods to try. Over a few sessions the plan can shift based on what feels most helpful, so the work stays practical and tailored to each person's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework ideas, or when someone prefers writing things out. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between meetings.
