Background and approach
Laura blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
She also brings Client-Centered and mindfulness practices to create a calm space for reflection. Her background is in community mental health, working with a wide range of symptoms and diagnoses. That experience shapes a focus on real-life problems like parenting strain, caregiver stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood disorders.
She also supports people dealing with gender identity concerns and non-traditional relationship dynamics. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Laura helps clients build coping strategies for panic, trauma symptoms, and disruptive mood patterns.
She also addresses grief, shame, and communication problems so people can move toward clearer goals and steadier days.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and supporting the person’s own goals. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to address what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thinking patterns that lead to distress and then practice new ways of responding. Online CBT often includes short exercises and homework that people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. Those skills can be taught in video or phone sessions and practiced with simple worksheets or text reminders between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy gives flexibility for different routines. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues and work in real time, while phone sessions require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, skill coaching, or when a written record of ideas is helpful. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
