If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or carrying the ache of abandonment or disconnection, you’re not alone. Maybe a big life transition, relationship strain, family-of-origin dynamics, or questions around identity or sexuality have brought you here. I’m glad you made it.
I love working with individuals, couples, families, and LGBTQ+ couples, including those in polyamorous relationships. Together, we’ll turn challenges like anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, avoidant patterns, and emotional abuse into opportunities to feel safer in yourself and more connected in your relationships.
I’m Lauren Pagni, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. My style is collaborative, warm, and grounded. I blend practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT (like mindfulness and emotion skills) with a curious, compassionate look at the stories and patterns that shape you. This approach supports healing around abandonment, family-of-origin issues, life transitions, relationship concerns, and sexuality exploration.
If something here resonates, I’d love to meet you. I offer free 15-minute consultations—reach out, and we can see whether working together feels like a good fit.
