About Laura
Laura's background includes crisis counseling and support for people facing PTSD, suicidal ideation, and addiction concerns.

In sessions she leans on straightforward, strength-based work. She helps clients notice their existing resources and build practical tools to use between meetings. Homework and short exercises are often part of the process so progress continues outside the session time.

Approaches that shape online work
Laura combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so goals come from the person in the room. It helps when someone needs support to sort out emotions and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small skill-based steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress-related problems and for building coping tools for life transitions like midlife change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, preferences, and goals. Over a few sessions they will try strategies, adjust them, and agree on homework or practice tasks that fit day-to-day life.
Confirm current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, and family obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins, straightforward skill practice between meetings, and the ability to keep therapy visible in a busy schedule.
