Laura Brum

Laura Brum is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, OCD, ADHD, and reactions to physical or emotional trauma. Her manner is warm and caring and she aims to make therapy a straightforward, doable process for people feeling stuck.

Laura practices in Oregon and centers sessions on practical steps that fit each person’s life. She listens first to understand what matters most, then works with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions blend discussion, skill practice, and small experiments people can try between meetings.

Her toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and mindfulness-based approaches. She draws from these options to tailor plans for grief, mood swings, post-traumatic stress, panic, and anger management. The focus is on what will help someone move forward rather than labels or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Laura emphasizes collaboration and respect. She avoids stigmatizing language and partners with people to build coping skills, improve relationships, and regain a sense of control. Therapy can be a mix of gentle reflection and concrete skill-building depending on what a person needs.

If someone is ready to take steps toward change, Laura offers supportive guidance aimed at practical progress and emotional relief.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try different ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Details about session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to guide skill practice, teach emotion regulation tools, and support processing of past events while tailoring sessions to each person’s day-to-day needs.
