Getting to know Lauren Rocha

Hi, I'm Lauren, a compassionate, patient, and playful therapist dedicated to helping you make meaningful steps toward growth. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and also hold a credential in school counseling. Currently, I practice on the Central Coast of California. I value nature, enjoy exploring the deeper questions and meanings of life, and seek to find light in the world. I am highly motivated by possibilities and honor your decision to try therapy with the hope of new opportunities. My approach I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also incorporate principles of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which assumes clients are doing the best they can and want to improve. The four DBT areas I focus on for growth are mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. My focus With experience working with clients ranging from middle school age to older adults, I am skilled at understanding your life circumstances and helping you navigate obstacles, even when resources are limited. I aim to provide empathic yet direct reflections on observed patterns to support your progress from a place of dysfunction. I typically work with individuals who have the desire and willingness to change the circumstances that brought them to therapy. My communication style Creating a safe, relaxed, and relatable environment is central to my communication style. I don't hide my humanity, which sometimes means laughing together about a movie we both enjoy or crying together when a client shares a traumatic event. I value humor and don't shy away from laughter when appropriate or tears when needed. I can be direct with reflection if requested or invite deeper exploration as we work together.
