About Laura
With 17 years of experience, she tailors sessions to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on practical steps for daily life - small changes that add up. She uses tools to build confidence, handle overwhelm, and improve communication in close relationships.
Her background includes work with mood concerns, ADHD, trauma and grief, eating issues, and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, money worries, postpartum depression, and loneliness. Laura combines different approaches so the work fits the person in front of her, not the other way around.
Therapy with her often includes skill practice, short-term problem solving, and exploring values people want to live by. She encourages people to notice what matters most and to take steps toward those goals. Many sessions involve clear strategies people can use between meetings.
People who prefer straightforward, compassionate guidance may find her style helpful. She aims to empower clients to make changes at their own pace while offering steady support and practical tools along the way.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences. That means trying different strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow a quieter check-in during a work break. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still lets them practice skills, get feedback, and make steady progress toward feeling less isolated and more connected.
