In navigating the challenges of everyday life, I recognize the importance of prioritizing self care and exploring the areas of our lives that need healing.
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I hold a bachelor's and master's degrees in social work. I am clinically licensed and have worked in the field since 2009. I have worked with adults and adolescents in telehealth, inpatient, and field-based settings. Many of the individuals I have worked with have experienced challenges around relationship dynamics, sudden loss, marital and financial stressors, infidelity, negative peer relationships, body image, and balancing career and household demands. The individuals I have worked with are no different than most of us, who on some level are seeking balance, peace, and reassurance.
In our work together, I seek to give space to investigate root causes to some of your most pressing issues. Through exploration, utilizing mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches, we will work toward more clarity and self-acceptance. You can expect a receptive and compassionate, judgment-free approach.
I know that showing vulnerability and transparency can be tough, but I would like to share that space with you. I can best support individuals who are motivated toward change and are insightful. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. If this sounds like you, reach out!

Having lived through immigration and personal transitions, I bring empathy and understanding for how complex life changes can impact our sense of self and belonging.
I’m Cecilia, and I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, cultural and family pressures, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, yet want deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier ways of coping. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and build resilience while staying connected to your values and identity.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally aware. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and CBT tools to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we move at your pace while building insight, confidence, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you when you feel ready to begin.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the best benefit in CBT because it teaches clients to have control over their anxious thoughts and other symptoms of anxiety.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when the client begins to experience fewer anxiety symptoms and the client is able to work through stressful situations without the help of the clinician.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by practicing the tools they receive during the sessions. All therapeutic techniques work best when the client continues to use them outside of the sessions.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can rest assured that you aren't the only one who is experiencing this. Anxiety is more common than you realize and everyone deals with it differently. You're taking the right step to get help.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Lawrenceville, GA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Lawrenceville therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety disorders are the most common form of mental illness. So, if you’re experiencing symptoms, don’t worry. You’re in good company, of which has found effective treatment for their anxiety—and you can find this relief too.
If you have anxiety, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Counseling in Lawrenceville, GA (Sugarloaf). We’ll provide therapy and treatment that makes sense for you. Contact our office to schedule an appointment or hear more about what we offer.
There is a multitude of anxiety disorders out there that might explain why you’re feeling, thinking, or behaving a certain way.

Anxiety is a highly treatable mental illness. There are a couple of forms of treatment that prove effective—therapy and medication—but self-care techniques can help, too! Let’s talk a little about each:
