About Laura
Laura Kozak is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with clients who want clearer boundaries, more confidence, or relief from anxiety and stress.
She centers sessions on respect and compassion. Conversations are shaped by each person's needs rather than a fixed formula. Laura aims to make the work understandable and practical so people can try things between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new patterns. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive space where a person’s own goals guide the work.
She also uses Psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps. Laura tailors the plan to the situation at hand, combining short-term problem-solving with deeper reflection when useful. She often helps people handle life changes like separation, blended family adjustments, or the fallout from infidelity and domestic violence.
Sessions can include talking through attachment concerns, grief, abandonment worries, jealousy, and issues tied to women’s life changes. Laura keeps language plain and actions practical so progress feels manageable and realistic.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. The therapist provides empathy and support, helping people find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together; it gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can shift over time as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls fit in-depth conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and shorter, more flexible exchanges that can fit a busy day.
