About Laurel
Laurel uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. She often combines cognitive-behavioral tools with mindfulness and emotion-focused work. She also draws on approaches that assist people in processing difficult memories and painful experiences.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and real-world skills. Clients learn ways to handle panic, regulate strong emotions, and improve how they communicate in stressful situations. Work can include building social confidence, managing relationship conflict, or coping with major life changes.
Laurel has 19 years of counseling experience in Texas and brings a calm, supportive presence to sessions. She works with people facing depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and identity or life-purpose questions. Her background includes assisting those who feel isolated, carry guilt or shame, or struggle with attachment and abandonment issues.
Practical tools are paired with reflective conversation. Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching, mindfulness practice, and emotion-focused exploration. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer steps to try between meetings and a stronger sense of control over everyday life.
How Laurel’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify core values and take small steps toward them even while difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It focuses on building meaningful action rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on understanding and changing emotional responses in relationships and can help people improve communication and bondedness.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose strategies and adapt them over time so the work fits daily life and specific challenges.
