Background and approach
Her five years of professional experience include supporting people facing relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief, and problems tied to mood and attention. She also addresses concerns such as body image, compulsive behaviors, and patterns that come from family of origin issues. Laura pays attention to how feelings show up in daily life.
She helps people untangle shame, guilt, isolation, and impulsivity so they can act with more choice. She also helps with career worries and questions about life purpose. Sessions combine listening with problem-solving.
Laura works with clients to set realistic steps, try new ways of coping, and track what changes over time. Her goal is to support steady progress toward clearer priorities and better functioning.
Practical approaches for online therapy and everyday change
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test more balanced ways of thinking. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-criticism. Another approach focuses on changing habits and behaviors through small, practical steps and repeated practice, which can help with depression, impulsivity, and compulsive actions. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with each person to identify goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. She emphasizes learning skills that fit the clients life and refining those techniques over time. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions or live chat can be lower bandwidth or easier when sitting for a full video call is hard. Text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, short reflections, and follow-up between meetings. These options allow flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.Frequently asked questions
