Lauren Boddie

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Central Michigan University. I practice in the state of Michigan and create a warm, confidential space where you can talk openly and grow. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, and mindfulness, adapted to you and your goals. Sessions can be in-person or via telehealth, with flexible scheduling and clear communication about privacy and plans. If you’re unsure about therapy, an initial chat can help us decide if we’re a good fit and outline your next steps.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and person-centered, meeting you where you are and focusing on your values, strengths, and goals. I set clear, practical targets and teach skills you can use between sessions, using evidence-informed methods like CBT, and mindfulness to fit your needs. I tailor treatment to your life context, culture, and relationships, while maintaining transparency, consent, and ongoing check-ins to ensure your comfort and progress.

Clients can expect a warm, confidential first session that centers on building trust and understanding your goals. I’ll start by listening to your reasons for seeking support, your background, and any relevant history, then work with you to clarify what you’d like to achieve. We’ll discuss logistics, consent, privacy, and session structure, and I’ll outline a plan with clear, realistic next steps. You’ll have space to ask questions, share what’s important to you, and we’ll collaboratively set initial goals and a pace that feels comfortable. If you’re ready, we can schedule the next steps and tailor future sessions to your needs.
