I'm Lauren Caravello (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, offering virtual and in-person therapy services, to people living in Nevada and Washington state.

I created Caravello Counseling after years of working within systems where I repeatedly came across rigid models of care, and services that didn’t always reflect the realities of people’s lives. As a social worker, I value accessibility, equity, and meeting people where they are. Having my own practice allows me to offer care that is thoughtful, flexible, and grounded in what clients actually need.

I earned my Master of Social Work from The University of Michigan, in 2017. I have received training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My clinical background includes work in nonprofit organizations, community mental health centers, and group practice settings. Currently, I am working towards training and certification in somatic-based therapies, so I can bring more nervous system and body-based approaches into my work with clients.

In my work, I blend evidence-based therapies with a person-centered, collaborative approach. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work, alongside building practical skills that foster meaningful change and greater agency in everyday life. Whether the focus is emotion regulation, parenting challenges, relationship dynamics, or life transitions, my goal is the same: helping clients feel supported while gaining the tools to move forward in ways true to their values.

I am committed to creating a safer, more compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered. If you’d like to learn more about my background or clinical approach, you’re welcome to visit my Psychology Today profile.
