About Laura
Laura Hattrup, LSCSW, LCSW, offers calm, practical support when anxiety, stress, or life changes feel overwhelming. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so parents and individuals feel heard. Her approach focuses on small steps that make daily life easier and more manageable.
With 16 years of clinical experience, she helps people name what is most difficult and build on their existing strengths. Sessions focus on coping skills, problem solving, and finding balance between responsibilities and self-care.
Background and approach
She also addresses grief, anger, parenting strain, money worries, and career stress. Laura uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and behaviors, try new ways of responding, and set realistic goals. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness work.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to help clients move toward clear, achievable changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She encourages clients to recognize resilience already present and to practice small habits that reduce overwhelm.
Sessions aim to restore functioning and increase moments of relief and satisfaction in daily life. Laura practices from Kansas and offers several online formats for sessions. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and women’s issues, as well as those coping with major life transitions or grief.
Approach-driven online therapy for everyday challenges
Laura often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical work that breaks problems into steps and teaches skills to change thinking patterns and daily routines. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people slow down and become more aware of the present moment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity to stress and support calmer responses to intense feelings. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that match those needs. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant. Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.Questions people ask
