Laura GannonLCSW

Laura Gannon is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addictions, or feeling low. She supports clients working through family conflict, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and mood concerns. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to take the first steps toward change.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name what they are feeling and think about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit everyday life, whether that means building new routines, testing small behavior changes, or practicing different ways to talk about difficult topics.

Laura combines client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means conversations that follow the client’s lead while also offering concrete techniques to manage anxiety, cravings, or low mood. Solution-focused ideas help set clear, short-term goals and track progress.

She also draws on trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect daily life. This can look like pacing topics carefully, identifying triggers, and developing coping plans that feel manageable.

Laura works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her background includes assisting people with caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, eating-related concerns, and midlife or life-purpose questions. She meets people where they are and supports steady, realistic change.

How Laura’s approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with the therapist reflecting feelings and helping organize thoughts. It works well for people who want a supportive space to talk things through.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and avoidant habits over time.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. The therapist uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover personal reasons for change and to build motivation step by step.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods and goals fit best, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. Clients shape the pace and focus of treatment based on their needs and preferences.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use written or spoken tools between sessions to practice new skills without changing daily routines.
