About Laura
Laura Noel is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her aim is to help clients notice their strengths and make steps that fit their life.
Laura uses practical tools and steady support rather than quick fixes. She draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered stance.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on concrete skills, clear goals, and real-life practice. People come to her for many concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She helps with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, eating and body-image problems, compassion fatigue, and managing big life changes.
She also addresses patterns like codependency, communication problems, abandonment and attachment issues, and blended-family challenges. In sessions she blends skill teaching with careful listening. That means exploring what keeps a problem going and trying small, doable experiments between meetings.
She works to make therapy fit a person's values and daily demands rather than expecting perfect progress overnight. Laura has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, North Carolina licensure. She offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that began early in life and how they show up now; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries, and family-of-origin concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, seeing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy with Laura is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and real-time skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and text or chat works for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
