About Laura
Laura Boettger is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She offers calm, steady support and practical ways to move forward when everyday coping feels hard. Laura writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person’s priorities and worries.
Her work often centers on recovery from high-control groups and relationships, and on trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress and dissociation.
Background and approach
She helps people make sense of confusing experiences and regain a sense of agency after intense or controlling involvement. Sessions are aimed at small, workable steps rather than quick fixes. Laura uses a range of approaches that she adjusts to fit each person.
She blends client-centered listening with structured skills from dialectical behavior therapy and targeted trauma work like EMDR when appropriate. This means some sessions are exploratory and reflective, while others focus on concrete coping skills and stabilization. People who come to her for life transitions get help clarifying values and setting realistic next steps.
She supports those who feel lost after big changes, and those who want help rebuilding routines, relationships, or confidence. Coaching-style conversations are available alongside therapy when people want practical planning and accountability. With ten years of experience as an LMHC - licensed mental health counselor - Laura works with adults in Florida.
She offers multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Laura frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person lead the conversation. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and make choices. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, which teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.When trauma is central to the work, targeted EMDR techniques may be included to address distressing memories and reduce their intensity. EMDR is used alongside other methods and is chosen based on what a person needs and how comfortable they feel with the process. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist helps figure out the best fit based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video sessions support conversational work and visual connection, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to choose the format that helps someone engage most effectively.
