She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing in Texas and brings 12 years of professional experience to her work.

Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real problems. She helps people identify small, doable steps toward feeling better. Laura uses a mix of approaches depending on what a client needs.
That can include client-centered work that follows the person’s pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, and trauma-focused methods for processing painful events. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build coping skills and set clear goals. People who come to her often bring issues like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, communication problems, or trouble with trust after infidelity.
She also supports those facing caregiver stress, body image concerns, or struggles around divorce and separation. The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Laura explains options in plain language and helps clients choose what fits their schedule and needs.
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead in sessions. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and gentle questions that help people feel heard and understand themselves better. This approach is useful when someone needs space to tell their story and set their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns that cause repeated stress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It combines careful pacing with techniques to build safety and coping, which can ease symptoms after abuse or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, history, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep continuity when in-person visits are not possible.
