About Laura
Laura Husband is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She is LGBTQIA+ affirming and emphasizes steady, respectful support in her work.
Laura draws on straightforward tools rather than long explanations. She listens first and then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include practical strategies for handling panic, sleep problems, anger, or caregiver burnout.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse histories. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when they fit a person's needs.
The focus is on learning skills that help in everyday life and on improving how people relate to themselves and others. Laura has spent many years in community mental health settings and has worked with a wide range of concerns. That experience shapes how she notices patterns and offers options that may help someone feel steadier.
She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to move conversations toward change. People who meet with her can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through present problems and past pain. She helps set small steps that add up to better coping and clearer choices.
Her aim is practical progress and a stronger sense of hope.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Laura often uses client-centered therapy to build trust and understand what matters most to a person. This approach centers conversations on each individual's goals and values so work in sessions follows what they find most important.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems like anxiety and depression going. CBT offers practical exercises and homework that help reduce symptoms and change daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skills or adding DBT techniques for emotion regulation when those tools feel useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video works well for fuller conversations, phone can be a quick check-in, chat is useful for shorter exchanges, and messaging helps people keep momentum between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can get consistent support in ways that work for them.
