About Laura
Laura Angers Maddox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and listens first so each person feels heard. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at finding what helps in day-to-day life.
Laura draws on about nine years of counseling experience gained in a variety of settings. She has worked in group homes, office practices, and provided in-home counseling.
Background and approach
That range means she has seen many ways people cope and recover from hard situations. She helps people who are facing trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and issues with self-esteem or anger. Other areas she addresses include panic attacks, attachment and abandonment concerns, family of origin issues, sexual assault, and social anxiety.
She also supports people with career stress, intimacy concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. In sessions she uses client-centered methods that put the person’s goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
For people coping with intense emotions, she draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and on trauma-focused techniques when past harm is central to the problem. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in Alabama as well as with international clients. The style is accepting, straightforward, and focused on small, workable steps that fit each person’s life.
Ways therapy methods work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions let the therapist follow each person’s pace and priorities, using conversation to identify what matters most and what small steps to try next.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT often includes reviewing thoughts, practicing new behaviors between sessions, and checking progress in the next meeting. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process past harm and build safety in daily life through structured techniques and gradual steps designed to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions work well for people who need less bandwidth or a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and skill practice easy between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for different schedules, locations, and daily demands.
