Lauren Vines

Hello! 

My name is Lauren, I am a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW with a Master of Social Work from Tarleton State University. Go Texans!  I have spent the last 10 years helping children and adults overcome obstacles and challenges they have faced. My professional experience has allowed me to walk alongside my clients at their most vulnerable times. Together we were able to identify solutions that fit their needs, while learning about themselves. As a social worker, I think of myself as a “GPS”. I can provide you with the routes, turns, and shortcuts to your destination, but you are driving the car. I will support you wholeheartedly along the way no matter how many turns we need to take. I believe each individual client deserves to be treated with respect, support, and compassion without judgment. This is the promise I make to you!

I am currently working as a counselor at a local school district and offer telehealth services in the evenings and weekends. My passion is perinatal maternal health and women’s mental health with substance use exposure. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and a grounding approach to guide you to self-regulation and restore functioning that is hindered due to challenges or stressors. In addition, I am very well versed in child behavior, adolescent mental health, addiction, pregnancy, and parenting. 

I look forward to speaking with you or your family to determine whether I can be of service and if I am the best fit for your needs. Please reach out to me with any questions at lauren@anchorcounselingftw.com
