Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and practical, not full of jargon. Her work draws on several evidence-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors.
Skills from dialectical behavior therapy help with emotion regulation and managing impulsive reactions. She also uses guided reading and other person-centered tools to reinforce progress between sessions. Those looking for help with chronic illness, caregiver stress, life purpose, or women's issues will find a focus in her practice.
Laura also addresses self-harm concerns with care and clear planning. She emphasizes small changes that add up over time. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to match each person’s needs.
Laura invites people to take the first step and explore whether her approach feels like a good fit.
Evidence-Based Techniques Applied Online
Laura uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. These techniques are useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress because they focus on small experiments and practical changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another part of her toolbox; they teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with impulsivity and strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. That way treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth sessions and skill practice, while phone calls can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
