Background and approach
Laura encourages clients to set clear goals and to measure progress in ways that feel meaningful. Laura uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. She draws on conversations that focus the work on immediate problems, as well as techniques that help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Motivational interviewing strategies are used when someone needs help finding and keeping motivation for change. Over her career she has supported people facing long-term health challenges, caregiving strain, and midlife transitions. She also helps those dealing with isolation, communication problems, and issues around commitment and control.
Her work includes attention to mood disorders and challenges related to eating or substance use. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Laura helps clients break big problems into smaller steps and tries to make therapy fit into everyday life.
She works in English and is licensed in Florida as an LCSW.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It asks what matters most to the client and adjusts the pace and topics accordingly, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety symptoms and improve mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make a change. It can be useful for addiction challenges, building motivation for treatment, or committing to new routines.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into work breaks. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when writing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across different settings.
