About Laura
She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Laura helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills that fit their daily life.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act on their values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas also inform her work when they match a person's needs.
Laura has particular experience addressing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns, and challenges around parenting, career changes, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Those who choose her can expect respect for their pace and practical steps between sessions. She encourages small, doable changes and helps people track what is working so they can move toward goals with clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new ways of responding to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people keep therapy consistent during moves or when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools for remote work so clients leave sessions with clear steps to practice between meetings.
