About Laura
Laura Tellez is a licensed clinical social worker who works in Texas and speaks English and Spanish. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
She uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs. That means setting goals together and adjusting the pace as progress is made.
Background and approach
Her practice blends practical tools with reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce tension and improve emotional focus.
When trauma or past hurt is central, Trauma-Focused Therapy guides the work to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want short-term strategies to manage a current problem or make a clear change. Laura draws on 12 years of experience in clinical settings to shape each plan.
She treats each person with sensitivity and compassion, and she adjusts methods to fit individual circumstances. Sessions can include goal-setting, skill practice, and talking through relationship patterns. The approach is collaborative: the therapist and the client decide what helps most and try practical steps that fit the client's life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps build a plan based on the client's values and goals. This approach is useful for people who need space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include practicing specific skills and homework between meetings to build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety and stress because it targets the patterns that keep problems active.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adapted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and focused.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat or messaging can be short check-ins or a way to process feelings between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days while keeping the same collaborative, goal-focused work.
