Background and approach
Laura supports gradual changes and helps people notice small shifts that add up. Her work often addresses family tensions, communication problems, and issues around commitment and control. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, or midlife questions.
Topics may include substance use, eating and food-related struggles, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Laura uses a mix of well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative, with clear goals and tools to try between meetings.
She emphasizes skills people can use day to day to reduce stress and improve mood. People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback and help building momentum. She aims to empower clients to make decisions that fit their life and values.
Many find this practical focus helps them move forward when they feel stuck.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs an accepting space to talk through tough feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation to change, which is often used for substance-related concerns and other habit changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needs evolve. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick tools, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
