I'm Lauren Stover, a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep commitment to helping you find your authentic voice.
I specialize in exploring themes of self-love, communication, isolation, life purpose, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I'm particularly skilled at addressing attachment patterns, codependency, abandonment wounds, and control issues. I also support clients through caregiver stress, postpartum challenges, seasonal affective patterns, commitment concerns, and blended family dynamics.
My work honors the unique experiences of women and those navigating workplace stress or midlife transitions. I bring cultural awareness and affirm the identities and experiences my clients bring to our work together.
I believe healing happens in relationship—with yourself and others. My role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's holding you back and discover your path forward. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing from past hurts, or building stronger connections, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and expertise.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
