Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with emptiness, forgiveness, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Lara uses a collaborative, direct, and honest style. She begins by listening closely so people feel understood.

Then she helps set small, practical goals to build momentum between sessions rather than creating dependence on therapy alone. Her background includes brain-focused tools such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which shape how she thinks about emotions, habits, and regulation. For clients who request it, she can integrate a biblical perspective into sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lara’s practice emphasizes clear communication and tangible steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online care

Many clients benefit from brain-informed approaches that focus on how habits and regulation affect daily life. Neurofeedback and QEEG-informed care involve observing brain patterns and using that information to guide strategies for emotional regulation and improving sleep or focus. These tools are used alongside talk-based work rather than as a standalone solution.

She also emphasizes collaborative, goal-focused counseling. That approach starts with listening and then setting small, practical steps to try between sessions. It helps when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of a next step because the work is broken into manageable actions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as needed. Clients help decide what feels most useful, and plans change over time based on progress and preference.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send messages between sessions or have a flexible way to stay connected. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
