About Laurel
Laurel Clement is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout of trauma. She works with clients troubled by panic, mood shifts, low self-esteem, anger, and career or relationship strain. Her style aims to make clients feel heard and steady as they take small, manageable steps forward.
Laurel uses practical tools from several well-known approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action even when feelings are hard. Her work also includes emotion-focused techniques that target relationship distress and DBT skills for emotion regulation and coping. Those methods are applied in everyday language and with clear exercises to practice between sessions.
Laurel also incorporates trauma-focused methods to help people process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Over 19 years in Texas, she has worked with a wide range of life transitions and losses, including divorce, family of origin concerns, abandonment, and midlife reevaluation.
She offers ways to manage panic, chronic worry, and mood disorders so people can function better day to day. Sessions may include skill coaching, guided reflection, and practical homework tailored to a person’s goals. Laurel encourages a collaborative pace so each person can build resilience and move toward clearer purpose at a rate that feels right.
Approach-driven online care for coping and change
Laurel integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and trying new actions to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorder management. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them even when emotions are strong; it is useful for life transitions, chronic stress, and shifting long-standing patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Laurel treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the work matches real life and feels useful between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options help people fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue work from different locations.
