About Laura
Laura Frelich is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that help with everyday struggles. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things easier and less overwhelming.
She works with people facing relationship strain and family problems, including parenting challenges and conflict at home. She also helps with substance use concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood struggles such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
LGBT issues, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD are within her scope of focus. In sessions she emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely. She listens closely and helps people identify patterns that get in the way.
Conversations lead to small experiments and changes that feel achievable in everyday life. Laura uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and create a supportive tone. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood, and to test practical alternatives.
Clients can expect straightforward language and concrete tools they can try between sessions. Laura encourages gradual steps toward goals, whether that means reducing anxious days, improving family interactions, or managing cravings. She aims to make the process manageable and focused on what matters most to each person.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist tailor each meeting to current concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on goals, needs, and personal preference. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share updates or problem-solve between calls and fit support into a busy schedule. These options provide flexibility while using the same therapeutic methods described above.
