About Laura

Laura Roland is a licensed counselor who helps adults tackle long-standing emotional patterns. She is an LPC and LMHC with 22 years of experience and focuses on practical change. She aims to help people move past anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her approach is warm, direct, and supportive while asking clients to do active work between sessions.

She focuses on attachment trauma, ADHD and attention concerns, chronic pain and autoimmune-related stress, and codependency and boundary challenges. She also supports people dealing with complicated grief such as miscarriage and fertility loss, as well as career shifts and major life transitions. Anger and emotional regulation are part of the areas she addresses in session.

Her style blends client-centered listening with structured tools. Clients can expect worksheets, homework assignments, and weekly challenges to practice new skills. Sessions mix compassionate reflection with straightforward feedback to help change long-standing patterns.

Laura uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Attachment-Based work to match different needs. She emphasizes nervous system regulation and concrete strategies for coping with stress and trauma. Over two decades of practice inform how she tailors interventions to each person.

She offers individual work for adults and invites people who are ready to engage in active change. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist's listed availability.

How chosen approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react certain ways in relationships and supports building different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find useful, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, anger, and coping with life changes. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is commonly applied for trauma and abuse recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps align therapy with what actually feels helpful for the client.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes consistent weekly work and homework exchanges easier to maintain. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, skill practice, and EMDR-informed processing to an online setting, and sessions are scheduled to match each person's routine.
