About Laura
Her approach blends several well-known methods to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and live in ways that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits. Client-centered practices create a calm space where a person’s own goals lead the work.
Laura has helped people manage grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and issues related to identity, including LGBT matters. She also supports those facing sleep or eating difficulties, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as adoption or aging. Topics like abandonment, attachment, and commitment issues appear in her practice as well.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. Laura helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen self-worth. Progress is measured in everyday changes - better sleep, steadier moods, and easier conversations.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they most want to change. Then she works alongside them to try new skills and track results over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and struggles around meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s goals guide the sessions; this can help people feel heard and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and see what fits their goals and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time so techniques match changing needs and life demands.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Some approaches lend themselves to exercises between sessions, which can be practiced from home or during quiet moments. Talk with the therapist about practical needs so sessions fit into daily routines and support steady progress.
