About Laure
Laure DeForges is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. Laure aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She works with adults on issues like low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and social anxiety. Laure also addresses relationship stress, grief, and addiction-related concerns using practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on understanding each person’s story. In sessions Laure helps clients sort through patterns that cause recurring problems, such as attachment or control issues. She supports those dealing with career stress, parenting strain, and intimacy-related worries by focusing on clear goals and small changes.
Laure pays attention to how past experiences shape present behavior without overwhelming the conversation. Her approach includes coaching elements for people who want concrete strategies alongside emotional work. She invites clients to notice strengths and practice new ways of coping.
Over time this can lead to clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning. Laure offers therapy in English and provides several remote session formats to fit different needs. People interested in beginning work with her complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Two evidence-based techniques Laure uses are trauma-focused work and skill-building interventions. Trauma-focused work helps people process past hurts and reduce their impact on current life by naming memories and learning coping steps. Skill-building interventions focus on concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and handling cravings or urges related to addiction.She also uses a coaching-oriented approach that sets clear goals and practices between sessions. This method is helpful for people facing life transitions, career decisions, or patterns like codependency and control issues. Laure and each client decide together which approach fits best, adjusting plans as needs and goals evolve in therapy.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief reflections, ongoing coaching, or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain progress and fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other daily routines.
