Background and approach
Her background includes work with career struggles, life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing body image worries, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around commitment and communication. That range means she often helps when problems overlap across work, relationships, and personal wellbeing.
Clinically she uses methods rooted in acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive and behavioral tools, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. In practice that looks like learning new ways of thinking, building small skills, and practicing awareness techniques between sessions. Sessions can include planning steps, role-play for difficult talks, and short exercises to reduce anxiety.
The focus is on practical changes that fit into everyday life. Laura works with each person to set achievable goals and track progress together.
How online approaches and therapy techniques fit together
Online therapy with Laura often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying your values and making small committed steps toward them, which can help with purpose, motivation, and coping during life transitions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust plans as progress unfolds.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, and flexible back-and-forth between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work on skills between meetings.
