About Lauren

Lauren Dusbabek is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Nevada with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflicts, trauma, and depression. Lauren aims to create a calm, open space where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling and thinking.

Lauren uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people notice patterns in their relationships and reactions. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds, and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her approach also includes emotionally focused work to strengthen connection and EMDR for people processing trauma when that fits the situation. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, whether that is managing depression, repairing communication, or coping with major life changes.

Lauren has supported clients through grief, addiction struggles, parenting stress, workplace burnout, and major relationship transitions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, boundary and control struggles, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. The aim is practical change - clear next steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

To begin, she asks a few questions to learn what matters most and then helps set simple goals. The focus is on steady progress, improved communication, and finding ways to feel more connected and grounded in everyday life.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, fear of abandonment, and ways to feel more secure with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It suits people who want clear steps and tools to manage mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions, then use that insight to improve communication and repair relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques over time and adjusting the plan as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce commuting time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone join from a quieter place without needing extra travel. Therapists can use these methods effectively online to address depression, relationship struggles, trauma processing, and practical coping skills.
