About Laura
Laura Marshall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma-related issues. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps to feel better.
Laura uses cognitive and skills-based methods to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Sessions often include short exercises, goal-setting, and strategies you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people working through changes like substance use or lifestyle shifts. Many clients seek help for depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and addictions. She also addresses body image, social anxiety, self-harm thoughts, and relationship or family problems.
Laura helps with parenting stress, eating issues, guilt and shame, and coping with life transitions. Her approach balances practical tools with attention to emotion. That can mean learning coping skills from dialectical behavior therapy alongside cognitive strategies.
For people recovering from abuse or trauma she uses trauma-focused methods that focus on safety and paced processing. Laura speaks English and practices in Florida. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the site.

Practical approaches for online anxiety and trauma care
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and real-life practice. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges and includes homework to try between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, test out strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. That lets sessions stay focused on your needs rather than on a single predetermined method.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone calls can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text sessions work well for quick check-ins, mood tracking, or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule support around work, school, or family life.
