Background and approach
Laura draws on many years of practice to help people sort through emotions and make choices that fit their lives. Her work includes support for caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and difficulties tied to separation or infidelity.
Common themes she helps with include isolation, guilt, codependency, and questions about life purpose. Laura mixes several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's lead, cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking, and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen important relationships.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives also shape how she understands patterns that repeat over time. With three decades of experience, Laura aims to offer clear, compassionate support. Her sessions are practical and respectful, designed to help people feel steadier and make choices that work for their everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following a person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical strategies to change reactions and behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and everyday coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships and can be useful for people wanting clearer communication and stronger connections.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and useful as needs change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a speaker-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick exercises, or when someone wants written tools to review later. These formats offer flexibility while keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.
