About Laura
Laura Hattrup is a licensed social worker who helps people who feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. She offers straightforward support for anger, grief, parenting strain, money worries, and the push of major life changes.
With 16 years of experience, Laura draws on practical methods to help clients build coping skills and move toward clearer choices.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered care that focuses on each person's goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness to calm an overactive mind. She also uses solution-focused and motivational methods when people want concrete next steps and small wins. Sessions are geared toward real-life problems like work stress, changing family roles, compassion fatigue, and juggling finances.
Conversations aim to identify strengths, test small changes, and reinforce what works. The tone is supportive and goal-oriented, not judgmental, so people can try things at their own pace. Laura holds KS LSCSW LSCSW 4251 and MO LCSW 2023025897.
She provides services from Kansas in English and does not take international clients. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair someone with Laura and schedule sessions that fit timing and format preferences.
The process is built to help people take concrete steps toward feeling better and managing day-to-day challenges.
How Laura's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your priorities and what matters most to you. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps you decide next steps that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach happens together. Laura will talk about different options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps you reach your goals. That collaborative process means plans change if something doesn't feel like a good fit, and progress is built from small, steady steps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls work well for deeper conversations, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other obligations while keeping the focus on practical change and building everyday skills.
