She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to make big problems feel smaller. Her style is approachable and direct, aimed at people who need clear steps and steady support.

Background and approach
Conversations focus on identifying strengths, building coping skills, and creating realistic next steps. Therapy sessions often use cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and more grounded.
Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are used when people want to explore values, choices, and the stories they tell about themselves. Common concerns she addresses include relationship stress, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career strain. The work also extends to issues like bipolar and depression, family problems, and intimacy-related concerns.
Laura aims for collaborative sessions that balance practical skill-building with space to reflect. She encourages small, achievable steps so progress is visible. People can expect straightforward conversations and tools they can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where you are. The therapist follows your lead and helps you name concerns and strengths so sessions feel relevant to your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety and change habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas to use first, and will adjust methods as goals and needs evolve. You should expect questions about what you want to change, experiments between sessions, and regular check-ins about progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates or reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when helpful, and let people choose how they prefer to communicate.
