About Laura
Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings three years of professional experience and a background in counseling to online therapy. Laura combines practical guidance with a calm, direct style to help people facing tough moments in life.
She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges around intimacy and self‑worth. In sessions she uses clear, down‑to‑earth conversations rather than jargon. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindful practices to help people try small changes that add up.
The aim is to find realistic steps that fit each person’s life and values. Laura describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set goals, break unhelpful patterns, and build skills for coping and communication.
Practical tools and short-term strategies often sit alongside deeper work about past hurts and attachment patterns. People who prefer straightforward guidance and steady encouragement may find her style a good fit. Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled online to suit different needs and routines.
How Laura’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that align with what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making values-based choices during life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep and eating issues, mood struggles, and building coping strategies.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in close bonds and communication. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and try new approaches to intimacy and connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments from different locations and maintain continuity of care.
