About Laura

Laura Moore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She approaches clients with respect and a belief that each person shapes their own life story.

Her work centers on practical conversations and clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying what’s getting in the way, building specific skills, and testing small changes that make daily life easier. She encourages people to notice strengths they already use and to try new behaviors when older patterns feel stuck.

Laura draws from several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral tools for changing thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment ideas for clarifying values, and client-centered listening to make people feel heard. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and existential approaches when those fit a person’s concerns.

Over her career she has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting pressures, career transitions, chronic illness, and body-image or eating issues. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and other complex life concerns.

She accepts clients from outside the United States and holds sessions in English. If someone is ready to begin, they can use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for midlife transitions, anxiety, and when someone wants to reshape life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so a person can feel understood and explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and daily routine. That may mean blending elements from ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to fit a person’s situation rather than sticking to one single method.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins during a work break, or allowing sessions when scheduling far from a clinician would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical change.
