Lauren Krolick, LPC

Lauren Krolick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She has six years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Lauren focuses on practical changes in everyday thoughts and habits to help people feel less stuck and more able to handle life’s demands.

Her style is supportive while also offering gentle challenge. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on building simple coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing awareness of how thoughts affect feelings and behavior.

Lauren pays attention to relationship and attachment issues that often underlie ongoing distress. She helps people address abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems, and the effects of caregiver stress. She also works with concerns like panic attacks, obsessive thinking, guilt, and life transitions such as divorce and separation.

In session she uses concrete tools alongside reflective work. Clients can expect assessments of daily routines and thinking habits, step-by-step skill building, and exercises to strengthen resilience. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Lauren sees therapy as a process of small, steady changes. Her aim is to help people develop habits that reduce anxiety, improve relationships, and create more meaningful daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lauren draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she also uses mindfulness-based practices. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by working on specific problems and practicing new responses. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication through structured skills practice. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and support daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. This shared process aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to day-to-day life.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for continuity when life changes make in-person visits harder. It can also allow for brief check-ins when a full session feels like too much, or for video work when practicing communication and mindfulness skills visually helps progress.
