Background and approach

Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance. That means conversations focus on what matters to each person, and techniques are adapted to fit daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and reframe negative thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are applied when emotional intensity makes decision-making hard. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers tools to act in line with personal values despite discomfort.

With eight years of practice, Laura brings experience in a range of concerns including eating issues, intimacy-related struggles, career stress, coaching, and ADHD-related challenges. She emphasizes self-love as part of healing and supports people who want practical, real-world change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action that matches their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem work. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for reflection while the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports a trusting working relationship and helps clarify personal goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they will adjust methods over time so the work fits the client’s life and produces useful changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days while still using ACT, CBT, and client-centered work effectively.
