About

Lauren Oates is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky and a Licensed Professional Art Therapist who also holds national board certification in art therapy. Her Kentucky clinical counselor license is listed under number 246357. She has five years of experience and has spent the past few years working for a non-profit community mental health organization providing therapy for people and families in need.

Her approach to counseling is person-centered and adaptable - she treats each client as the expert on their own life and tailors therapy to match individual goals and needs. Lauren focuses on helping people build on their unique strengths rather than concentrating only on a diagnosis, with the aim of supporting a positive, healthy state that goes beyond simply overcoming difficulties.

Lauren also offers art therapy for clients who find it difficult to put feelings into words or who want a creative way to explore emotions. The process of making art can help clarify how someone feels and can be therapeutic and enjoyable in itself.

She views mental health as an integral part of overall health and believes seeking mental health care is similar to receiving any other type of health care. If someone is considering therapy but feels hesitant, Lauren encourages them to reach out so she can help them move toward overall wellness.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most cases.

One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical and effective option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
