Laura Braswell

Laura Braswell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings three years of professional practice to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. Laura writes plainly and aims to make therapy an understandable step for worried people and parents.

She draws on life experience alongside clinical work. Laura mentions long-term marriage and parenting many children, including foster care experience, as part of what shaped her outlook. That background informs how she listens and the practical suggestions she offers in sessions. Laura also has a Masters of Divinity with a focus on counseling, which she uses alongside social work skills.

In sessions she focuses on real-life goals and day-to-day changes. She works with people facing depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, adoption and fertility concerns, and shifts in purpose or motivation. Laura aims to help clients break unhelpful patterns and set achievable goals.

Her approach mixes a few well-known methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, cognitive behavior strategies, attachment-based work, and a client-centered attitude. She uses these to help people notice thoughts and emotions, try small behavior changes, and rebuild relationships with themselves and others.

Laura describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people map what matters to them, set practical steps, and adjust as needed. Her style is straightforward and caring, with an emphasis on getting through hard moments and moving toward better daily functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it can help with relationship troubles and long-standing patterns rooted in past caregiving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying different techniques and tracking what helps most over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce time spent traveling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and lets people keep therapy going while managing work, parenting, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, ACT exercises, and CBT homework to work in remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting from different locations.
