Getting to know Lauren Matos

Hi there, I'm Lauren! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from the Tampa Bay area with a Master's in Counseling from Argosy University. I use an eclectic approach, meaning I typically choose the methods and tools depending on each person's needs. I have 12 years of experience helping people with anxiety, trauma, addiction, and getting over toxic relationships. My approach I have been trained in EMDR since 2012 and have recently been using this method successfully through telehealth. Additionally, I have extensive experience with CBT, REBT, solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, EFT, and motivational interviewing. My focus I mostly work with adults who deal with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. I also help people get over toxic relationships, particularly toxic parents. My communication style I tend to be very direct and to the point. I use a lot of metaphors to help with understanding. I am also non-directive, meaning I allow my clients to set the agenda for each session. My journey to mental healthcare I chose to be a therapist to help others who might be dealing with family members struggling with mental health, as I have family that struggles with mental health as well. I love watching clients grow and change over time to meet their goals. My goals for you I allow clients to freely set goals and work to support them in reaching those goals on their own timeline. I have tools for assisting with goal setting if needed. My first session with you My first session is normally focused on building rapport and understanding the issues that brought you to therapy.
