About Laura
She keeps sessions practical and interactive. Laura listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that get in the way. She also draws on client-centered ideas to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Her background includes work in private-practice settings and a range of treatment environments. That experience includes inpatient and outpatient substance-abuse care and correctional facility work. Over the years she has supported people with personality and behavioral concerns as well as those working through trauma and loss.
Laura takes an empathetic, nonjudgmental approach in session. She encourages people to name what matters most and to try manageable changes between meetings. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck.
People who choose Laura can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping ideas, and steady encouragement. She aims to help clients make small shifts that add up to better day-to-day functioning and clearer relationship steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where thinking and behavior interact.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. Decisions about which techniques to use evolve as progress is made.
