Frequently asked questions.

  • Olive Counseling Studio offers individual therapy, family and couples therapy, intensive sessions, crisis support, and private coaching.

    Each service is designed to meet different needs—from ongoing therapy to more focused, time-sensitive support.

  • Therapy is an ongoing process focused on deeper clinical work and is available to clients located in Kentucky.

    Intensive sessions are extended appointments (1–3 hours) designed for more focused, in-depth work over a shorter period of time.

    Coaching is a non-therapy service that focuses on practical application, decision-making, and navigating real-life situations. It is available to individuals outside of Kentucky.

  • Lauren is only licensed to provide therapy services in the state of Kentucky.

    For individuals located outside of Kentucky, coaching sessions and crisis support provide an alternative way to work together.

  • Crisis support is a structured, extended session (1–3 hours) designed for moments when situations feel urgent or overwhelming.

    The focus is on stabilizing the situation, helping you think clearly, and identifying next steps so you can respond in a way that aligns with your values—not just the urgency of the moment.

    Crisis support is not a replacement for emergency services.
    If you are in immediate danger, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

  • You don’t need to have that figured out ahead of time.

    We can determine the most appropriate level of support based on what’s currently happening and what you’re looking for.

  • Yes—select insurance plans are accepted for clients located in Kentucky through Headway and Grow.

    Accepted plans include Aetna, Cigna, Anthem BCBS, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, and others.

    Coverage varies by plan, and we recommend verifying your benefits prior to your first session.

    Private pay options are also available.

    • Individual therapy sessions are typically 50–60 minutes

    • Family/couples sessions may be slightly longer

    • Intensive and crisis sessions are extended (1–3 hours)

  • A minimum of 24–48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling.

    Late cancellations or missed appointments are subject to the full session fee.

  • Communication between sessions is limited and intended for scheduling or brief logistical questions.

    If additional support is needed, a session can be scheduled.

  • That’s often where people start.

    You don’t need to feel fully ready—you just need to be open to looking at things differently.

  • My primary focus is working with individuals impacted by a loved one’s addiction.

    While I may work with individuals navigating their own substance use in certain cases, the core of my work is centered on the people around the addiction—those trying to make sense of the dynamics, set boundaries, and find stability within their own lives.

    I also work with individuals struggling with codependency and dysfunctional relationship patterns, even when addiction is not the central issue.

  • You can get started by submitting an inquiry through the contact form. From there, we’ll determine the most appropriate next step based on your needs and what you’re looking for.

    If you are located in Kentucky, you also have the option to schedule directly through Headway or Grow using your insurance.
