Laura Tellez, LCSW

Laura Tellez is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works with each person respectfully and sensitively. Taking the first step toward feeling better can feel hard, and she aims to make that step clearer and more manageable.

With 12 years of professional experience, she adapts conversations and plans to fit what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep people stuck. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to the individual.

Laura also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay present and calm when stress ramps up. When trauma is involved she incorporates trauma-focused work to address painful memories and reactions at a pace the client can handle.

She often uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions. That approach can be helpful for people who want concrete changes and realistic milestones. Communication skills, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues like infidelity or divorce are among the practical topics she addresses.

Therapy with Laura emphasizes collaboration, clear next steps, and gradual change. She encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to notice what shifts. If you prefer sessions in English or Spanish, she can hold the conversation in the language you choose.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions

Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, so the therapist follows the client's lead and tailors conversation to what matters most. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to clarify goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship worries because it breaks down problems into manageable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. That can ease stress and help people respond rather than react when they feel triggered.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try different methods and choose what fits their needs, goals, and comfort. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what's available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer quieter or shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people keep therapy consistent and practical without promising specific outcomes.
