She uses gold-standard and cutting-edge third-wave therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Unified Protocol (UP-CBT), for treatment of anxiety, OCD, panic, phobias, and other related conditions. She also uses Compassion‑Focused Therapy (CFT) and Mindful Self‑Compassion (MSC) to enhance psychological flexibility, self‑kindness, and resilience. Dr. Lauren Helm offers executive functioning skills coaching and therapy for ADHD, chronic stress, and burnout. These practical strategies involve skills training in planning, problem-solving, organization, time management, and emotion regulation.
