Laura Kozak, LPC

Laura Kozak is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make the first step feel more manageable and less isolating.

She centers sessions on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person's needs. That means practical, step-by-step goals and room to talk about what feels most urgent in life.

Laura draws on several therapeutic approaches to match different concerns. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and prioritize the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when unhelpful thoughts and habits need changing.

She also incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Solution-focused work helps when clients prefer clear, short-term goals and actionable steps. These approaches are mixed based on what the person finds useful.

Sessions are intended to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship pain, grief, and major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment worries, blended family and separation issues, domestic violence, infidelity, jealousy, and women’s concerns.

Laura emphasizes collaboration and practical next steps. People who want a therapist who listens and adapts the plan can expect straightforward, respectful guidance.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs and perspective at the center of sessions. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace, which can help people who feel overwhelmed by relationship pain or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses concrete exercises and practical tools that translate well to remote sessions and short homework tasks between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another or combining techniques as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. It also supports brief check-ins or focused skill work when time is limited. Ask about session length and structure during the matching step so arrangements fit your routine and goals.
