About Laura
Laura Lee Adams is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns. She meets people where they are and helps them take the next step toward a more manageable daily life.
She believes the client is the expert on their own story. Sessions aim to build on strengths and practical skills rather than only talking about problems.
Background and approach
The work can include problem-solving, managing strong emotions, and finding ways to cope with life changes like grief, divorce, or fertility struggles. Laura has worked with people facing parenting and family tensions as well as those dealing with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar mood challenges.
She also offers support for people navigating issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and body image concerns. Her approach addresses both immediate symptoms and longer-standing patterns. People facing addictions, first responder stress, or trauma and abuse can expect focused attention on safety, coping strategies, and restoring day-to-day functioning.
She additionally attends to topics that can feel hard to name, including BDSM and alternative sex culture, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood issues. Sessions are offered in English and are adaptable to each person's needs. Laura works with clients to set clear goals and practical steps.
The emphasis is on usable tools and steady progress across everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach uses cognitive and behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and teach new ways to cope with anxiety, mood swings, and stress. These techniques are useful for sleep problems, worry, and mood regulation.Another approach centers on attachment and relational patterns to help people understand recurring relationship stress, abandonment concerns, codependency, and family conflict. This work often involves noticing patterns, trying small relationship experiments, and building new communication habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different days and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit lower-bandwidth situations, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
