About Laura
She draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused work to help with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She has long experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addictions and mood concerns such as bipolar. Her background also includes crisis counseling and work with obsessive-compulsive concerns.
Laura often gives short exercises or “homework” between sessions to keep momentum and practice new skills. She prioritizes building on existing strengths and nearby supports so changes continue outside the therapy hour. Her style is practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Across her career she has supported people facing parenting challenges, career stress, family problems, and major life transitions. She also has experience with first responder issues, blended family situations, and caregiver strain. Her work is grounded in helping people find useful tools and small, achievable steps forward.
Clients who choose her can expect a therapist who listens, encourages them to set the agenda, and helps craft concrete plans. She invites people to explore ways to increase calm, improve relationships, and regain a sense of purpose and well-being.
How these approaches shape online work
Laura uses client-centered therapy to put the client's priorities first, listening and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps when life circumstances, like pregnancy or new parenting roles, shift priorities and require flexible goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and stress that often appears around major life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow people to use quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth options, or phone sessions when that better fits daily life. The focus is on making therapy work with real routines and responsibilities rather than requiring major schedule changes.
