About Laura
She uses a plainspoken approach in sessions. Conversations and plans are shaped around what each person needs most. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through what’s most pressing in the moment.
Laura draws on client-centered ideas to create a warm, listening space. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and form new behavior patterns. Solution-focused strategies help people set short-term goals and notice small changes that build momentum.
Her practice includes support for caregiving stress, blended family tensions, workplace issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and end-of-life and hospice related matters. She emphasizes communication skills, forgiveness work, and managing grief in ways that fit daily life.
With ten years of professional experience, Laura aims for clear, usable tools rather than long explanations. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a collaborative path forward tailored to what matters most to them.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Laura uses client-centered work to prioritize each person’s voice, listening for what matters most and responding with empathy and respect. This approach helps with building trust, improving communication, and clarifying personal values.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns because it offers clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, achievable goals and track small changes over time. This approach can be helpful when someone wants focused, practical steps to improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting plans, and using practical tools that fit a person’s life.
